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
