Oocyte Perfusion Chamber
Expression of recombinant receptors in oocytes have been one of the favorite
choices for researchers to assess the pharmacology and physiology of receptors.
Since the oocytes are 1 - 1.5 mm in diameter, however, the fast solution
exchange around the oocyte can be a problem. After several years of
electrophysiological research, we have designed a Xenopus oocyte
perfusion chamber for use in automated and
unattended experiments. One of the major characteristic of the chamber
presented is a small working volume (~10 μl), which allows faster solution
exchanges. Combined with perfusion systems, this
chamber lets you to obtained dose-response data fast and easily. It can be used with Oocyte Voltage Clamp amplifiers, which employ
one or two
electrodes bath clamp. Fits
perfusion manifolds. The suction tubing requires connection to a vacuum source. If you do
not have in house vacuum, we recommend an outflow unit
for suction to remove solution during perfusion.
Improved design makes using the chamber easier: the replaceable chamber is fixed inside a
microscope stage adapter using flat springs. Improved profile of the suction
tubing provides smooth solution flow. Comes with Allen wrench. Click on image to enlarge.

PRICES AND OPTIONS |
OPC3 |
$252 |
Oocyte Perfusion Chamber
|
OPC3-M |
$295 |
Oocyte Perfusion Chamber on Magnetic Stands.
This modification of OPC3 chamber allows to position oocytes directly
on a bench using three miniature magnetic stands. The microscope free
configuration isolates the oocytes from vibrations, which could be
transmitted through microscope. Inexpensive dissecting microscopes
on a swing arm could be employed in the set-up.
If you do not have steel magnetic surface, choose slider-plate option,
which allows to bolt three adjustable plates to any surface with
wholes, or consider steel plate bellow. Teflon
manifold is optional.
