VIDEO: 7 Reasons to Upgrade Your EVOM Electrodes

The STX4 electrode is the newest, most innovative electrode for your EVOM. It facilitates measurements of voltage (potential difference: PD) and resistance (transepithelial electrical resistance: TEER) of cultured epithelia (cellular layer) grown onto permeable membrane inserts in 12- and 24-well tissue culture plates. The STX4 can measure directly inside 12- and 24-well inserts inside well plates. Here are seven reasons you should consider upgrading your chopstick-style electrodes for your EVOM2 today.

What’s the Difference Between the STX4 and the STX2-PLUS

As WPI’s EVOM™ line of TEER/TER (Transepithelial Electrical Resistance) measurement meters continues to evolve, we have seen similar advancements in the design of its electrodes. The new STX4 electrode (EVM-EL-03-03-01) (LINK) offers many advantages over the STX2-PLUS released in 2020. Both the STX4 and the STX2-PLUS are improvements on the STX2 and STX3 designs used with the EVOM, EVOMX, MilliCell® ERS and ERS2, and EVOM2. In this article we will compare the two newest designs.
