P2404S EasyMount Low Volume Ussing Chamber Slider for Mouse Intestine
APETURE SIZE: 2.8x9.2MM | Area = 0.25 cm2 | with Silver Electrodes
The P2404S EasyMount Low Volume Ussing Chamber slider insert is a specialized tool designed for use with the Low Volume EasyMount Ussing Chamber Model P2400, particularly suited for studies involving small tissue specimens such as mouse intestine. With an aperture area of 0.25 cm² (2.8 x 9.2 mm), the P2404S slider features eight stainless steel pins that securely mount delicate tissue samples, ensuring stable orientation and minimal stress during experimentation. This low-volume configuration allows researchers to conduct transport, permeability, and barrier function studies with minimal solution requirements, preserving tissue integrity while enabling precise physiological measurements.
Silver electrodes for transmural stimulation work with the P2404S EasyMount Slider in the P2400 Low Volume Ussing Chamber system by delivering a controlled electrical current across the mounted tissue, facilitating studies on tissue responsiveness and ion transport dynamics. The P2404S slider is designed to hold small tissue samples securely within the Ussing Chamber, ensuring proper orientation and stability during stimulation. When silver electrodes are introduced into each chamber compartment, they are positioned on either side of the tissue specimen, allowing the tissue to act as a barrier between the electrodes.
In this setup, the silver electrodes function by generating an electrical field across the tissue layer, which is especially useful for studies that require stimulation of excitable tissues, such as smooth muscle or epithelial layers in organs like the intestine. When a current is applied, the electrical field created across the tissue can stimulate ion channels, transport proteins, and other electrically responsive components within the tissue. This transmural stimulation helps researchers observe the effects of an electrical gradient on ion transport, permeability, and cellular responses. The precise placement and low-volume design of the P2404S slider, combined with the effective conductivity of silver electrodes, provide a controlled and reproducible environment for analyzing tissue function and responses under electrical stimulation within the P2400 EasyMount Ussing Chamber system.
