cellZscope 2
... automated and easy-to-use TEER and Ccl measurement in 24 individual wells.
Like all cellZscope systems, the cellZscope2 is computer-controlled and allows automated and reliable measurements of the ohmic resistance (TEER, transepithelial / -endothelial resistance) and capacitance (Ccl) of the cell layers in real-time.
Main features are:
- Easy readout parameters: TEER and Ccl of the cell layer.
- Full compatibilty with a broad range of standard cell culture inserts.
- Standard time resolution: 1 measurement per well every 4.5 min.
- Handy docking station facilitates hassle-free handling before, during and after the experiment.
- Automated fast process monitoring as well as reliable long term measurements over days and weeks.

Standard cell culture inserts from many manufactures can be used in the cellZscope.
The upper electrodes are magnetically attached to the lid. Easy exchange is guaranteed.
Within the same Cell Module, different pots / wells can be used and even combined to accommodate small, medium or large standard cell culture inserts.
