ALA Scientific oval chamber Ø 25mm MS-518 ALA Scientific

The MS-518 oval chamber is designed to hold tissue or cell preparations precisely on a 25 mm round cover glass (#1 or #2).

It is secured by double O-rings to ensure a solid hold without glue. It fits 35 mm Petri dishes, MS-Stage holders and the ALA HCMIS micro-incubator.

Features of the MS-518 -25 mm oval recording chamber

  • Oval inner surface (~19 mm × 9.5 mm) promotes efficient laminar flow and rapid solution exchange
  • Double-compressible O-rings ensure adhesive-free attachment of the cover glass
  • Versions available: clear Delrin or stainless steel bottom, with or without perfusion, or low walls
  • Integrated perfusion ports compatible with laminar flow, optimising applications
