OOCYTE PERFUSION CHAMBER

OOCYTE PERFUSION CHAMBER

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses the design and functionality of an Oocyte Perfusion Chamber, which is used in electrophysiological research to study recombinant receptors in oocytes. The chamber is designed to facilitate fast solution exchange due to its small working volume of less than 20 µl.

Specifications
- The chamber has dimensions of 45 x 30 x 10 mm.
- It includes an integrated outflow tube and agar bridge.
- A new slot is available for a virtual ground electrode.
- The chamber is compatible with a micro-manifold for minimal dead space.

Functionality
The chamber is designed for automated and unattended experiments, allowing researchers to quickly and easily obtain dose-response data. It is particularly useful for overcoming the challenge of fast solution exchange around oocytes, which are 1 - 1.5 mm in diameter.

Ordering Information
- Part No. OPC-1: Oocyte perfusion chamber with options for stage adapter sizes (80, 90, 100, 108, 110, or 120 mm).
- Price: $250 (U.S./Canada), with a 15% increase for international orders.
- Contact: 800.998.MATE, [email protected], 812 Page Street, Berkeley, CA 94710 USA.

Additional Components
- Microscope Adapter
- Suction Tubing
- Agar Bridge
- Reservoir for Reference Electrode

Conclusion
The Oocyte Perfusion Chamber is a valuable tool for researchers in pharmacology and signal transduction pathway studies, offering efficient and automated solution exchange capabilities.

OOCYTE PERFUSION CHAMBER Oocyte Chamber Diagram Microscope Adapter Suction Tubing Agar Bridge Low working volume means fast exchange times. Oocyte Reservoir for Reference Electrode • • • Integrated outflow tube and agar bridge Chamber dimensions: 45 x 30 x 10 mm New slot for virtual ground electrode Oocyte Chamber Side View Oocyte Perfusion Chamber • Small working volume (< 20 µl) Insert micro-manifold for very low dead space • Fast solution exchange Expression of recombinant receptors in oocytes has been a favorite choice for researchers to assess the pharmacology of signal transduction pathways. Since the oocytes are 1 - 1.5 mm in diameter, however, fast solution exchange around the oocyte was difficult. After several years of electrophysiological research, we have designed a Xenopus oocyte perfusion chamber for use in automated and unattended experiments. Combined with an automated perfusion system, this chamber allows researchers to obtain dose-response data quickly and easily.
