Cell Culture Chamber
The QV600 chamber has been designed for surface cultures, such as skin, respiratory epithelium or whole corneas. Additionally, the use of transwells to create a double cavity chamber is ideal for the study of membranes and barrier models.
QV600
The QV600 provides a constant medium surface, positioned to allow the membrane on commercial inserts to sit at this height and provide cell cultures with a continuous perfusion of media as well as exposure to a controlled gaseous environment.
The QV600 chamber can also be fitted with an alternative insert to create a double cavity chamber ideal for the study of membranes and barrier models.
KEY BENEFITS
- Continuous flow of medium across cell cultures
- Consistent ALI level within chambers – no risk of cells drying due to evaporation
- Ports for control of gas within culture
- Simple fluid level control
- Sized for commercially available inserts
