Small volume imaging chambers RC-20, RC-20H WARNER
The Warner Instruments RC-20 and RC-20H recording chambers are very small volume, closed chambers designed for fluorescence, calcium and time-lapse imaging. Made from polycarbonate, they offer fast, linear solution exchange while maintaining a short working distance. The RC-20 is smaller and narrower with a volume of 48 µL, ensuring linear flow and very fast exchange, while the RC-20H has a larger viewing area and a volume of 90 µL. Each chamber uses two 15 mm round coverslips to form the bath, separated by 1 mm, with the top coverslip held in place by a ring. An access port compatible with Hamilton syringes allows substances to be injected or air bubbles to be eliminated, and the laminar flow minimises distortion of samples during perfusion.
