Find the Right Electrode for Your Corning® Plate

Transepithelial/Transendothelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) is a widely used, non-invasive technique for assessing the integrity of epithelial and endothelial cell barriers. By measuring electrical resistance across a cell layer, researchers can monitor barrier formation, evaluate permeability, and verify the health and consistency of in vitro models used in drug transport, toxicology, and disease research.

Selecting the correct electrode configuration is essential for obtaining accurate TEER measurements. Use the compatibility charts link below to identify the recommended WPI electrode and measurement solution for your Corning® permeable support format.

For additional help selecting the correct Corning plate, p.ease refer to Corning’s Permeable Supports Product Selection Guide.
