CL-26Z WARNER oocyte recording chamber

The Warner CL-26Z recording chamber is optimised for xenopus oocytes, with a polycarbonate design allowing excellent access for two-electrode electrodes. Its diamond-shaped bath ensures constant laminar flow, while the adjustable suction well and agar bridge well facilitate TEV recordings and larger tissue preparations. Compatible with upright and inverted microscopes, it offers a large optical imaging area and precise control of the solution in the bath.
