TEER measurement in individual cups

Using WPI’s EVOM™ Manual resistance meter, Endohm chambers provide reproducible resistance measurements of endothelial and epithelial monolayers in culture cups. Transfer cups from their culture wells to the Endohm chamber for measurement rather than using hand-held electrodes. The chamber and the cap each contain a pair of concentric electrodes: a voltage-sensing silver/silver chloride pellet in the center plus an annular current electrode. The height of the top electrode can be adjusted to fit cell culture cups of different manufacture.

Details

For TEER measurement of epithelial and endothelial cell cultures

  • The new EndOhm chamber upper mount is made of polycarbonate and unaffected by alcohol
  • The glass chamber is easier to clean and more scratch resistant than the prior versions. The EndOhm is not recommended for incubator use due to risk of the glass cracking.
  • Adjustable apical electrode height
  • Crystal clear glass chamber allows visualization of apical electrode positioning
  • New insert holder with 120º tri-supports for three leg inserts
  • Three sizes cover a range of well cup sizes from a variety of manufacturers
  • Compatible with EVOM3 and EVOM™ Manual

To find the equivalent EndOhm chambers compatible with EVOM, EVOM2™, and Millicell® ERS and ERS2, visit the product page here.

ENDOHMapplication

Make more precise measurements with EndOhms

EndOhm’s symmetrically opposing circular disc electrodes, situated above and beneath the membrane, allow a more uniform current density to flow across the membrane than with the basic STX4 electrodes. The background resistance of a blank insert is reduced from 150 Ω (when using WPI’s hand-held STX4 electrodes) to less than 5 Ω. With EndOhm’s fixed electrode geometry, variation of readings on a given sample is reduced from 10-30 Ω with STX4 electrodes (depending on the experience of the user) to 1-2 Ω. Compared with other resistance measurement methods, EndOhm with an EVOM meter offers a much more convenient and economic solution to “leaky tissue” measurement. Because of the uniform density of the AC square wave current from EVOM™ Manual, errors owing to electrode polarization or membrane capacitance are largely eliminated. EndOhm together with EVOM™ Manual offers the most accurate and economical endothelial ohmmeter now available. To date, cups from Corning, Millipore, Nunc, Greiner and BD Falcon have been tested. EndOhm chambers may be sterilized with EtO, alcohol or a bactericide; not autoclavable.

NOTE: EndOhm chambers have Ag/AgCl electrodes. If you are planning to do continuous data recording for extended period, you may need to take into consideration any potential cytotoxic effects of long-term exposure of silver on your specific cell type.
