General description
The Millicell® ERS 3.0 Digital VoltOhmMeter
reliably measures membrane potential and resistance of epithelial and
endothelial cells in culture. This device qualitatively measures cell monolayer
health and cell confluence. An Electroless Nickle Immersion Gold (ENIG) plate
on each external facing electrode tip measures voltage. The small size of the
electrodes enables easy measurement of transepithelial voltage and the
resistance of cells grown on microporous membranes. The MERS03000 comes with
the Voltohmmeter, standard adjustable electrode, a Wi-Fi USB dongle, a power
cord, a verification device and free 6-month trial subscription to Millicell® Cloud
account. Each instrument is battery compatible but can run off only AC wall
power in the absence of a battery.
Application
To study endothelial/epithelial barrier models (like the
blood-brain barrier models, gastrointestinal tract models, and pulmonary
models), To study efficacy of drugs, To evaluate pharmacological toxicities
