96W1E
Each of the 96 wells
in a standard plate configuration contains a single 250 micrometer diameter
circular measuring electrode. This array has been designed for high
throughput and performs in a manner identical to the 8W1E standard array.
The array is opaque. |
 |
8W1E PCB & 8W10E PCB
Similar to the standard 8W1E and 8W10E but using printed circuit board as a
base layer. All surfaces are compatible with cell culture as in the standard
array. This economy array is opaque and optical cell observations are
limited to reflection microscopy (upper wells can be removed following ECIS
measurements). |
 |
8W1E DD*
This is nearly identical to the 8W1E
standard array but the active electrodes come in four different diameters
(two wells of each size). Diameters are 250 (standard), 100, 50 and 25
micrometers. For applications where one wishes to monitor fewer cells with
high sensitivity. Please contact us if you have questions. |
 |
8W2x1E* (Medusa)
This array has 8 individual wells, but each well has two independent
standard measuring electrodes. This allows researchers to have duplicate
measurements within a single well. Since each electrode is individually
addressable, one could, for example, electroporate or wound cells on one
electrode using the other as a control. When connected to the array holder
only the upper four wells are measured. To later use the other four wells,
the array is turned around and the contact pads at the other end are now
used. |
 |
8WChemoTaxis*
The
array that is used in chemotaxis measurements first described by Hadjout, et
al in Biotechniques, 31 (5): 1130-1138 (2001). The measuring electrode in
this case is a thin gold line between two registry marks.

 |
ECIS Flow
array*
A
specialized array with 8 active ECIS electrodes located in the central
region at the base of a flow channel measuring 50 mm long, 5 mm in width and
0.4 mm in height. Useful for ECIS measurements of cells under perfused
conditions or in high shear stress environments. |
 |
8W1E*
Each of the 8 wells contains a single
250 micron diameter circular measuring electrode. Potential uses include:
 |
Cell migration measurements via automated wound healing. |
 |
Studying effects of agents upon cell morphology and cell motions (micromotion).
|
 |
Exceptional signal to noise ratio allows studies of very sparse cultures
(including single cells). |
|
 |
8W10E*
Each of
the 8 wells contains ten 250 micrometer diameter. measuring electrodes
connected in parallel (on a common gold pad). Potential uses include:
 |
Recording the activities of more cells over a larger region of the
substrate. |
 |
Studying the effects of agents upon overall impedance. |
 |
Reducing fluctuations in impedance due to micromotion that may interfere
with some assays. |

All
arrays can be ordered without upper chambers (NC).
*Gold films are transparent and the upper chambers can be removed following
ECIS measurements to facilitate staining including fluorescence
measurements. |
