2-Channel Voltage Current Clamp

The VCC MC2 Voltage Current Clamp is a modular two-channel voltage/current clamp with clamp channels that are interchangeable with those of the VCC MC6 and VCC MC8. It includes an integral pulse generator and computer interface circuitry in a small 9.5” chassis while maintaining nearly all the features of the single channel VCC600.

The instrument reduces the amount of lab bench space required for transepithelial experiments and interfaces perfectly with our new EasyMount two channel tissue and cell culture chambers described below. Option HV increases the output compliance to ± 35V DC. This is required only for certain types of experiments. Please consult the manufacturer. Each VCC MC2 includes two (2) single channel input boxes (DM MC6).

2-Channel Voltage Current Clamp Features

• A built-in pulse generator for monitoring of the tissue conductance/resistance (TEER).
• Up to eight (depending on the model) independently controlled voltage/current clamp channels.
• Digital readout of the transepithelial voltage or current.
• Compensation for electrode asymmetry potentials over user selectable ranges of ±10 mV or ±100 mV.
• Automatic compensation for voltage errors due to the resistance of the fluid in series with the epithelium - fluid resistance compensation (FRC).
• The ability to clamp either the voltage or current to any DC level in the range ±100 mV or µA.
• A Master Control switch that permits "one-touch" control of all clamp units.
• Recorder outputs for continuous monitoring of the transepithelial voltage and current.
• A pulse generator output providing +, - or bipolar pulses.
• An external command signal input to allow an arbitrary waveform to be clamped.
• A remote control interface jack to allow the 2-Channel Voltage Current Clamp to be controlled directly by computer using the ACQUIRE & ANALYZE© data acquisition and analysis system or other such remote interface.
• optiGain - switch selectable current gain and fluid resistance compensation range.
