cellZscope +
... automated measurement of TEER and Ccl in 24 individual wells.
The cellZscope+ measures the impedance of barrier-forming cell cultures grown on permeable membranes under physiological conditions and calculates the TEER and the Ccl automatically.
Main features are:
- Full compatibilty with a broad range of standard cell culture inserts
- Cell Module can be loaded with 24 inserts simultaneously
- Easy readout parameters: TEER and Ccl of the cell layer

Stainless steel cups serve as wells and are available for “24-well” type, “12-well” type, and “6-well” type cell culture inserts, respectively.
Apical and basolateral compartment are accessible for treatment. Different sizes of cell culture inserts can be measured simultaneously within a single Cell Module.
Also the upper electrodes are made of the highest quality stainless steel. This makes cleaning a snap.
