Basic Muscle Tester


The Muscle Tester is a convenient platform for all standard mechanical experiments on intact muscle preparations. The system can be equipped with any one of five different KG optical force transducers over ranges that are as high as 02N and sensitivities as low as to 1N. Transducers come with interchangeable tissue holders designed for general or specific applications on skeletal, cardiac or smooth muscle, with or without tendons attached. The bridge amplifier (SI-BAM21LC) has integrated heat control for one of three possible perfusion cuvettes. The basic system can be used for isometric force measurement with direct point stimulation of the muscle through the transducer and mounting supports. Field stimulation is also possible. A very fast linear motor (SI-MOTTEST) can be added to replace the standard digital micrometer. When the motor is used in combination with one of the available motor control units, various studies can be performed on muscles that include: l l l l l l l l l l Isotonic contractions Constant load Force-velocity Isometric contractions Length-tension Slack test Quick stretch-release Constant velocity Afterload Vibrations (sinusoidal/muscle stiffness).

Trans Epithelial Electric Resistance (TEER) Measurements


During the last two decades TEER measurements have become universally established as the most convenient, reliable and non-destructive method to evaluate and monitor the growth of epithelial tissue cultures in vitro. The confluence of the cellular monolayer is quickly determined by a sharp increase in TEER. Recently there has been a significant surge of interest in introducing a combined electrode for resistance measurements in the Millipore 96-well PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeability assay) plate. TEER measurement technology, which was first introduced by WPI in the mid-1980s, has since been perfected and expanded to include a range of TEER related manual and automatic instrumentation.

EPITH ELIAL PHYS IOLOGY

EVOM

Epithelial Voltohmmeter
Manual TEER measurements of epithelial cells in 6-, 12-, and 24-well plates Electrically isolated meter that plugs into a standard outlet for continual readout without push buttons Compatible with Endohm chambers STX2 manual electrodes and test electrode included with every meter
The EVOM was the first instrument designed specifically to perform routine Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) measurement in tissue culture research . EVOM2 is the next generation, redesigned for ease of use . The EVOM2 not only qualitatively measures cell monolayer health, but also quantitatively measures cellular confluence . The unique electronic circuit of the EVOM2 and the included STX2 electrode detect the confluence of the cellular monolayer . When combined with WPIs Endohm chamber, the EVOM2 can also be used to perform more accurate quantitative measurements or lower resistance measurements like trans endothelial electrical resistance measurements . The isolated power source of the EVOM2 was specifically designed to avoid adverse effects on tissue and the formation of electrode metal deposits, even when it is plugged into a standard wall outlet .

TEER measurements in High Throughput

STX100
EPITH ELIAL PHYS IOLOGY

Series Electrodes
Designed for 24-well HTS plate (Corning Costar and BD Falcon) and with 96-well plates (Millipore and BD Falcon) Improved accuracy down to 5 Ohm Sterilized with EtO, alcohol or bactericide

With the development of a High Throughput Screening (HTS) protocol for faster drug discovery, a new line of cell culture filter plates have been introduced by several major cell culture insert manufacturers . These HTS plates normally have either 24 or 96 individual cell culture inserts bonded together as one plate so that it can be handled by a robot apparatus . In response to these developments, WPI has developed an automatic REMS system and a manual electrode, STX100, for TEER measurements using HTS plates . STX100s design is based on the same reliable design principle as the universally used STX2 electrode, with several important modifications . The size of the electrode tip has been reduced to 1 .5 mm to facilitate positioning through the narrower slit of the HTS plate . The STX100 electrode itself is constructed using a stronger material for higher durability and maximum usage applications . The bottom section of the electrode is shaped to fit neatly into the keyhole shaped filter well . This enables the STX100 electrode to produce increased accuracy and reproducibility of TEER readings (5) compared to the standard STX2 . Several versions of STX100 are available, designed to fit the Corning Costar 24-well HTS plate, the Falcon 24 well HTS plate, and the Millipore

Multiscreen CaCo 96-well plate . Measurement can be directly performed when the HTS plate is in either a common or divided tray, reducing the possibility of contamination as well as mechanical damage to the cultured cells .

Multi-Channel Voltage / Current Clamp EVC4000


EPITH ELIAL PHYS IOLOGY
EVC4000-4 (complete four-channel system)

More channels and a wider range of voltage clamp commands than WPIs classic DVC-1000. The superior design of the cartridge electrodes makes 100-volt current excursion unnecessary, so this safe, low-voltage system is easier to adjust and use.
EVC4000 employs the voltage clamp technique to monitor membrane permeability as a function of membrane voltage or applied chemicals . When combined with WPIs patented EKC and EKV cartridge electrodes, EVC4000 can efficiently voltage or current clamp up to four sample membranes simultaneously using safe moderate voltages on the current wire leads . The superior design of the cartridge electrodes makes 100volt current excursion unnecessary, so this safe, low-voltage system is easier to adjust and use . Extremely stable and accurate, each module, with its companion preamplifier, can operate independently in one of three different modes: Voltage Clamp (VC), Current Clamp (CC), or Open Circuit Potential (PD) measurement . EVC4000 can be controlled from the front panel of the instrument or from computer generated commands applied at the rear panel of the instrument . A feature unique to EVC4000 is an electronic potentiostat in the preamplifier box that maintains the serosal electrode invariant potential at zero relative to system ground . The preamplifier apparatus actively maintains one surface of the test membrane close to ground potential under all operating conditions .

Ussing Chambers
WPIs classical Ussing Chambers are well established perfusion chambers that are easy to operate, easy to control temperature, and easy to clean after use . Hundreds of them are used daily by scientists in the field . Ussing Chambers are machined from solid acrylic with eight entry ports for fluid lines, electrodes, or agar bridges . For easy, leak-free attachment of tubing and electrodes, all eight ports are luer type . The four ports for voltage and current electrodes are recessed to prevent formation of air bubbles in the chamber . The fluid compartments in each side of the chamber are separated by the epithelial membrane being studied . Sharp stainless steel pins on one side of the chamber hold the membrane in position and mate with holes in the opposite chamber interface . (In the CHM4, tissue is held by an O-ring instead of pins .) The CHM5 chamber adapts the Costar Snapwell, a cell culture insert for monolayer cell culture, into WPIs classical epithelial voltage clamp system . Until now, classical Ussing Chambers have not been widely used for monolayer cell culture inserts because most inserts have a very deep profile, limiting good fluid perfusion at the surface of the membrane and limiting voltage electrodes from measuring the potential close to the surface of the membrane . CHM5 solves these problems: Perfusion fluid is introduced into the chamber at an angle so that it will flow directly to the surface of the membrane . The voltage electrode is also inserted into the chamber at an angle so as to reduce the distance between the surface of the membrane and the electrode . 26

Two small chambers with rectangular openings are designed for tubular tissue from small animals such as the mouse intestinal tract membrane (CHM6) and rat intestinal tract membrane (CHM7) . The rectangular opening more closely matches the shape of the tissue than would a circular opening, significantly increasing the membrane area available for testing . The larger membrane area increases the transport rate of low permeability chemicals; it also reduces the electrical resistance of the system for easier current clamping .

Optional Drains
Drains may be added to Ussing chambers to allow quick and complete evacuation of radioactive or toxic substances . To have drains added at the time of order, add a D to the part number (such as USS1LD); $100 will be added to the cost of the chamber or system you order .

Cartridge Electrodes
The Electrode Kit contains four voltage/current electrodes, plus four luer-tipped cartridges . Electrodes are threaded and screw securely into the end of each cartridge . The luer tip then plugs securely into the luer openings of the chamber . The cable from each electrode terminates with a 2 mm pin which may be plugged into voltage/current clamps such as WPIs EKV and EKC DVC1000 or EVC-4000 . Cartridge Elec rodes t The miniature electrode-gel cartridge is a small plastic tube with a male luer tip identical to those at the tip of hypodermic syringes . The tube may be filled with different gel materials; agar is commonly used but other gel materials may also be satisfactory .

Vibroslice uses a vibrating blade to slice tissues without the trauma produced by other methods . Live brain or other tissues can be cut into slices 50- to 700-microns thick . Fixed tissues can be cut down to 20-micron slices (these need not be embedded or frozen) . Particularly useful for improving the access for certain histological reagents (e .g ., during processing for horseradish peroxidase) . The blade has a lateral displacement of about 1 mm, and its oscillating frequency may be varied between 60 and 4500 rpm . This allows you to achieve clean cuts in tissues of different mechanical consistencies .

Tissue Bath Coolers for Vibroslice


A
thermoelectric elements in the base of the tissue bath. These act as energy transfer units so that heat is drawn off through the heat exchanger and removed by tap water flow. The unit uses P.I.D. (proportional integral derivative) temperature control to take the bath temperature to within 0.5C at the point of measurement. The temperature feedback thermistor is located in the bath floor and software calculates an offset automatically. B Immediate cooling of the tissue prevents anoxia by lowering the oxygen demand. Once removed from the animal tissue should be immediately place in cooled saline or sucrose buffer before mounting in the tissue bath. (See adhesives, pages 132-134.)

EPITH ELIAL PHYS IOLOGY

Once removed from the animal, tissue must be immediately cooled to lower the oxygen demand and prevent anoxia. Holding the tissue close to 4C must continue throughout the slicing procedure. This can be done with passive cooling where a known amount of ice is used to maintain the cooled a.c.s.f. or with an electronically controlled Tissue Bath Cooler. The control unit supplies power to the Peltier

SMALL ANIMAL ANESThESIA

AN I MAL S U RGERY & S U PPORT

EZ-7000 Classic System


EZ Anesthesia is the system of choice for anesthetizing small animals, and it comes with a variety of choices. Animals to be anesthetized are placed in the acrylic induction chamber and the system delivers a precisely blended mixture of oxygen and isoflurane. An activated charcoal air filter canister at the top of the chamber releases safe, filtered air back into the room. A water-heated cage warmer or warming plate (ATC1000) is used to retain the animal body temperature while in the induction chamber. After the initial anesthetizing, the animal can be moved to the heated surgical water bed and positioned properly in the snugly fitted nosecone. A highly sensitive valve regulated by the animals breathing works with the nosecone to ensure non-rebreathing efficiency, and allow safe anesthesia for up to several hours. The breathing device also includes an air filter that releases safe, filtered air back into the room. EZ Systems include all necessary hardware components and connections. Oxygen and liquid Isoflurane are not supplied. These are required to operate the system. Each system comes with all necessary components and connections for immediate use, including:: l Oxygen regulator l Vaporizer Unit l One Induction Chamber (standard EZ-178) l One Breathing Device (standard EZ-103) l Case of charcoal filters Other available options include: l Heated Beds and Heating Pump l Additional Breathing Devices

EZ-FF9000 Fixed Flow System

The system ensures consistent, precise gas flow when connected to any pressurized gas source higher than 7 psi. l Induction Chamber output is fixed at 1 Lpm l Four Breathing Circuit outputs are fixed at 0.5 Lpm This unit features an oxygen flush button that purges the induction chamber with pure oxygen, thereby protecting personnel from exposure to anesthesia gas when opening the chamber. A handle on the vaporizer makes the unit easy to safely transport. EZ-FF9000 Fixed Flow System

Features l Integrated turnkey solution for small animal anesthesia l Safe for surgical personnel, 90% below OSHA Isoflurane limit l Designed by veterinarians l Compact and portable l Time efficient and cost effective l Virtually stress-free for the animals l Easy to setup and use, simplifying the training of new staff and reducing the threat of human error l Speedy recovery time

EZ-7000 Classic System


The Classic System is the upgraded version of our original EZ-Anesthesia system. The new version has a reconfigured flow meter that is more user-friendly. The system offers five gas outlets that can supply a single induction chamber and four breather circuits simultaneously. The upgraded system also features an oxygen flush button that purges the induction chamber with pure oxygen, thereby protecting personnel from exposure to anesthesia gas when opening the chamber. A handle on the vaporizer makes the unit easy to safely transport. EZ-7000 Classic System

AN I MAL S U RGERY & S U PPORT

To assess mechanical allodynia, which is a painful response to a light touch or pressure from a stimulus that is not normally painful, the Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer was developed. The Electronic von Frey meter uses one of 15 different flexible von Frey hairs called SuperTips (or rigid tips up to 800 grams). Each hair, regardless of model chosen, is exactly 0.8 mm in diameter. This uniformity of design eliminates false readings and allows for comparison of test results. The Electronic von Frey can be used with chart recorders and analog/ digital converters, and it never needs calibrated. This system includes either a 90, 800 or 1,000 gram probe. Mesh stands are available in a variety of sizes for large group studies.

Trio
Get three test systems in one package with the Trio, featuring the Electronic von Frey, Plethysmometer and Randall Selitto Meters. Just like the Quattro package, the modular design allows these three test systems to communicate with the same electronic controller. The stand and sling for the Randall Selitto test are sold separately. II-2888 Trio 3-in-1 System

Quattro
This special package offers four tests, including Electronic von Frey, Plethysmometer, Randall Selitto and the Grip Strength Meter. You get all four test modules and the electronic controller that is interchangeable with all four systems. The electronic controller has up to three inputs, so you can perform up to four unique tests with only one electronic system. If you prefer, you may build your system and you grow. Because of the modular design of these four systems, you need to order only one complete system. Then, the modules for the other three tests, which integrate into the system, can be purchased separately, as needed. The stand and sling for the Randall Selitto test are sold separately.

Animal Temperature Controller

AN I MAL S U RGERY & S U PPORT

l PID control for maximum temperature stability l Low noise DC heater l Dual temperature sensor inputs l Audible alarm protects the element from overheating
ATC1000 is a low noise heating system for maintaining animal body temperature during experimental procedures. The DC heater is extremely quiet in terms of electromagnetic radiation. This is essential in electrophysiological recordings which are very sensitive to electromagnetic interference. The controller uses proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) technology in adjusting the DC voltage output. Compared with switched on/off type controllers, PID controllers provide a much more precise and stable control of temperature. The PID approach is also more immune to the variation of the experimental conditions such as change in animal size and unexpected disturbances. The controller has dual temperature sensing inputs. One input is used to monitor and control the animal temperature. The other is used to monitor the temperature sensor in the heating pad to prevent the localized hot spots under animal. The auto tuning feature of the fuzzylogic PID controller is easy to use and the manual setting of parameters provides the extra control ability if need. The temperature resolution of the controller is 0.1 C. A rectal temperature probe has a 6-ft ultra-flexible shield cable and an RTD sensor. It makes convenient and precise animal temperature measurement. The metal heating plates (available separately) have built-in temperature sensors. Compatible with stereotaxic systems, the rigid, flat surface fits under the U-frame. Plates are washable with water and detergent.

VENTILATORS
CW-MRI-1
The CW-MRI-1 ventilator is a small animal ventilator designed for use in MRI and other highly magnetic field environments, though its use is not limited to those environments. It offers manual or remote operation of pneumatic, non-metalic valves. The CW-MRI-1 operates on the flow-time principle, dispensing a known airflow into the lungs for a set inspiratory time to generate desired tidal volumes. Three controlsrespiratory rate, inspiratory time and flow rateallow for accuracy and extraordinary flexibility over a wide range of volumes, breaths-per-minute and inspiration/expiration (I/E) ratios. The unit can be expanded to ventilate larger animals. A source of compressed air or helium is required for operating the pneumatic valves.

CW-SAR-830/AP
The CW-SAR-830/AP small animal ventilator operates in either a volume or pressurecycled mode, meaning that it dispenses a designated volume of air with each breath or it ventilates until a designated lung pressure is reached. Pressurecycled ventilation prevents hyper-inflation of small animal lungs. In volume mode, it dispenses a known airflow into the lungs for a set inspiratory time to generate the desire tidal volumes. In pressure mode, a built-in, solid-state transducer monitors airway pressure. Simply set the desired end-inspiratory pressure. This ventilator is compatible with inhalation anaesthetics and oxygen, and it may be expanded to ventilate larger animals.

RFID Tagging
Radio frequency identification system for small animals
l The smallest RFID tags available on the market (1x6mm) l RFID tags are read and writeable in milliseconds l Easy to configure system l Ergonomic design l Safe for animals l Non-traumatic injection l Track animal for its entire life with a single RFID tag
These RFID tags, the smallest on the market, are ideal for quick identification of small animals like mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. The tags are so tiny they can be implanted with minimal stress in small animals only a few days after birth using an ergonomic syringe with a needle diameter of 1.2mm (18 guage). Because these unique Bluetooth readers operate at 13.56 MHz, they can also be used to read and write to plastic RFID card which can be attached to cages or carried by lab personnel. This lets you use the same reader for identification of test subjects and for supplementing laboratory security. The Bluetooth RFID arm reader (above) and handheld reader (below) communicate with a computer up to 50m away.

Selectivity of WPIs NO sensors


The ideal NO sensor should be insensitive to other reactive species likely to be present within the measurement environment . The conventional Nafion coated carbon fiber NO sensor exhibits a large response to such species .

WPIs unique NO sensor technology utilizes a novel surface membrane which amplifies the response to NO while eliminating responses to a vast range of reactive species, including nitrite, absorbic acid, hydrogen peroxide, catecolamines, and much more .

Hydrogen Peroxide Sensors


Hydrogen Peroxide is produced in biological systems by controlled pathways at low concentrations that impact on cell signaling . At higher concentrations inflammatory cells produce local intense amounts of this oxidant to kill pathogens . In the progress of human disease, uncontrolled formation of hydrogen peroxide from the mitochondrial respiratory chain and enzymes, such as xanthine oxidase, can occur (Prof . Victor Darley-Usmar, Univ . of Alabama, personal communication) . Despite the recognized importance of this oxidant in biology real-time measurements at low concentration have been difficult . The hydrogen peroxide sensors developed by WPI are designed to compliment existing high sensitivity fluorescent approaches with direct quantitative measurement in biological samples in the low nM range . Two hydrogen peroxide sensors are currently available .

Easy-to-use
The Apollo 1000 is a single-channel, non-isolated free radical analyzer with extremely quiet analog outputs that allow easy integration into nearly any experimental setup from vessel relaxation studies in a tissue bath to complex in vivo experiments . The pathway of the sensor signal is straightforward . The Apollo 1000 converts the sensor current signal into a voltage at a user selectable gain passing it to an adjustable analog filter block, the signal is then buffered and sent to the output . WPI recommends collection of the signal with our Lab-Trax data acquisition interface and Data-Trax software . Pre-configured Data-Trax Setup files for the Apollo 1000 provide optimal settings for data collection and analysis, software adjustments can be made to all acquisition display or analysis options including smoothing and filter adjustments .

with DC poise voltages . When the Apollo 1000 is configured for these types of applications, it is preferable to present the data as an XY plot . Our Data-Trax v2 .0 software offers XY plotting and a variety of other mathematical functions . This versatility makes it well suited for analysis and display of electrochemical data .

Potentiometric input
In addition to its free radical sensor input, the Apollo1000 has a separate potentiometric input . This input has an impedance of 1015 ohms, making it capable of accepting pH electrodes directly without buffer amps . The Data-Trax software incorporates a linear multipoint calibration feature allowing the user to calibrate for linear sensors of any slope or for logarithmic responses such as those from ion selective electrodes .

accommodates a wide variety of amperometric sensors


When performing free radical measurement, using amperometry, noise levels are directly related to detection limit . If you are looking at Nitric Oxide from low current output sensors it will be necessary to reduce bandwidth (resulting in lower rise time) to reduce noise . Lower noise reduces the risk that small currents from lower sensitivity sensors could be masked . In species like oxygen or others where output currents are larger and additional noise is not an issue, the Apollo 1000 has the ability to increase the bandwidth of higher current signals for better response .

Multi-Port Measurement chamber


Temperature stabilized four-port closed chamber for measurements of nitric oxide, oxygen hydrogen peroxide and other species in cell culture

l Four port (WPI #NOCHM-4) chamber accommodates WPIs 2-mm sensors for nitric oxide (ISO-NOP), oxygen (OXELP), hydrogen peroxide, and WPIs KWIK-TIP ion selective electrodes in combination with WPIs 2 mm Dri-Ref reference electrodes .

BIOS EN S I NG

l Two additional top ports for injection of reagents using WPIs MicroFil syringe needles l Closed chamber design greatly reduces the surface area of the solution exposed to air l One top port and up to three side ports configuration provides adequate space for convenient sample and electrode manipulation l Temperature control through an external circulating bath l The chamber can be used for nitric oxide and other species calibration at temperatures from 4-40 C The measurement of NO and other reactive gases dissolved in solutions will be underestimated in stirred conditions if the solution is allowed to equilibrate with air . In the case of NO, accelerated decomposition occurs as the result of diffusion of NO from the solution into the gas phase and the reaction of NO with oxygen . This reaction with oxygen makes a significant and variable contribution to NO decomposition, and hence accuracy of measurement, at concentrations of NO between 0 .1-5 M . These problems can now be eliminated with the use of WPIs two-port NOCHM or four-port NOCHM-4 closed chambers . The chambers consist of a close fitting cap through which a NO probe (ISO-NOP) or other electrode can be inserted . When the probe is in place and the cap is fitted to the chamber the surface area of the solution exposed to air is greatly reduced . Up to three optional side ports are also provided through which an oxygen electrode* (e.g., OXELP), WPIs hydrogen peroxide, or KWIKTIP ion selective electrodes in combination with WPIs 2 mm Dri-Ref reference electrodes can be inserted . The multi-port measurement chambers can be conveniently temperaturecontrolled by circulating water through the outer sleeve of the chamber using an appropriate heating/cooling circulator bath .

carbon Fiber Microelectrodes


l Sensitive, renewable/durable and economical carbon fiber electrodes for electrochemical detection of oxidizable compounds
Carbon fiber microelectrodes have been used in both the detection of oxidizable compounds (Gonon, etal., 1978; Cahill and Wightman, 1995) and extracellular single-unit recording (Armstrong-James and Millar, 1979) . WPIs ultra-sensitive and low-noise carbon fiber (cF) electrodes can be applied, with our Micro-C Potentiostat or similar instruments, in the electrochemical detection of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine), indolamines (serotonin, 5-HT or melatonin), ascorbic acid, Fe (II), and other oxidizable compounds . CF electrodes (diameter of 10 or 30 m) respond with an excellent linearity to the oxidizable compounds (Fig . 1) and can detect the compounds as low as 0 .2 nM . While the shorter (25-100 m) CF electrodes are suitable for invivoamperometric and voltammetric measurements, the longer CF electrodes provide higher sensitivity and are especially useful for the invitrostudies (amperometric or differential pulse voltammetry) . When used with the Micro-C Potentiostat, these CF electrodes can be activated and renewed in sensitivity for multiple use . The selective detection of catecholamines can be achieved with our Nafion-coated CF electrodes . For selective detection of 5-HT and ascorbic acid, please contact WPI for more information .

Dissolved oxygen meter & oxygen electrode


Electrically isolated, the electrode can function in recording situations where ground-referred electrodes would fail
l Measures gas and dissolved oxygen l Low O2 consumption l 2 mm tip

Isolation prevents adverse interaction with other electrodes and instruments . Highly accurate and stable ISO2 measures oxygen concentrations in aqueous solutions and in gas mixtures . Measurement modes are percent oxygen, parts per million, and oxygen reduction current in nanoamperes . The lower detection limit (DL) for ISO2 (in gaseous or in liquid phase) is 0 .1 ppm or 0 .1% . Oxygen concentration around 0 .5 ppm or 0 .5% and up can be routinely measured in the gaseous or in the liquid phases . DL for a particular sensor tends to be different in gaseous and liquid phases when the baseline noise level is also different . In the case of ISO2, however, the baseline noise level is very close whether the electrode is immersed in solution or used in the gaseous phase, so DL for the ISO2 remains relatively close in either phase . The small tip size (2 mm diameter) and low oxygen consumption of the OXELP electrode make it ideal for measurements invivo or invitro . With a T-Adapter (#5399), the sensor probe can be used also for continuous-flow monitoring of oxygen in small fluid volumes . OXELP also features a fast response time, typically 10 seconds . Optional BNC-to-double banana adaptor (#13347) and BNC cable (#500184) allow ISO2 to be connected directly to your chart recorder .

Beetrode is a solid state pH sensor with ideal characteristics over a wide pH range . Exhibits a larger Eo than conventional glass electrodes . Requires a separate reference electrode, such as WPIs Dri-Ref Series. Beetrodes (except the NMPH2) connect to your pH meter via a BNCterminated cable . Beetrodes generate mV readings on standard pH meters . To obtain pH-scale readings on standard pH meters, use BEE-CAL, a small, battery-operated compensator (AA battery included) that adjusts the electrode offset potential so that Beetrodes will produce standard pH-scale readings . (NMPH2B requires ZBEECAL .)

Dri-Ref Reference Electrodes


R DRI EF450
Although the internal filling solution contains KCI, the low fluid leakage means Dri-Ref may be used in combination with ion selective electrodes, including those for K+ and Cl-, without significant contamination from the reference electrode . The Dri-Ref electrodes are chemically resistant to strong acids and alkalines . Dri-Ref electrodes are not suitable for use in organic solvents . In addition, the long, thin FLEXREF may be easily manipulated to accommodate a difficult experimental setup .

WPIs Low-Noise Amplifiers Outperform Cheap Imitations

AMPLIFIERS, ELECTROMETERS

n amplifier, in simplest terms, is an electronic device that magnifies an input signal. However, the way an amplifier is designed to handle noise and bandwidth limitations greatly affects the quality and sustainability of the final output signal.

reproduced. This is called hitting the rail. be generated with the amplifier. It is determined by the maximum voltage of the power supply. If the amplitude of the output signal is too large for the output range, part of the signal is cut off (clipped). Rail The upper or lower limit of the amplifier range is called a rail. Signals that exceed the rail cannot be faithfully reproduced. DC Offset DC offsets can appear in biological preparations. This offset is the amount the output signal is displaced away from a zero reference point, and it is usually a result the potential difference at the electrodes tip. In our example, a 1.0V input signal at an 106 gain would generate a 1.0V output signal. Since the power supply is rated up to +5.0V, this output signal is clearly visible. If the input signal in this example is greater than 5.0V, the output signal would be greater than +5.0V. Since 5.0V is the top of the range that the power supply is capable of producing, the output signal hits the upper rail and gets cut off. This amplifier will give a +5.0V DC output signal for all input signals greater than or equal to 5.0V. In this instance, a smaller gain factor should be used to bring the output signal back into the dynamic output range of the amplifier. Noise Limits Amplifier Useability All electronic devices produce their own internal electronic noise, an unavoidable signal that can mask the output signal. For example, if the input signal is 2mV and the noise is 1mV, the signal to noise ratio is two to one (2:1), and the output signal would be undetectable. In this case, it is nearly impossible to discern which part of the output is generated by noise and which part is the desired signal. (Fig. 1)
Signal vs. Noise

Defining terms
To knowledgeably discuss amplifiers, lets define a few terms. Gain The gain is the multiplier defining how much the amplitude of an input signal is increased. A signal with an 1 gain is not amplified. An 10 gain produces an output signal ten times greater than the input signal. Noise Any unwanted signal fluctuations are called noise. While noise can also result from external sources, for the purpose of this discussion, we are primarily concerned with the noise resulting from the inner workings of the electronic device, our amplifier. This intrinsic noise is called shot (or schott) noise. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) The ratio of the output signal to the noise of the amplifier is called the signal to noise ratio. The smaller the shot noise signal in an amplifier in comparison with the output signal, the easier the desired signal is to discriminate. When engineering an amplifier, the SNR may be improved by boosting the first stage gain to yield a larger output signal or by using quality components to minimize the shot noise level of the amplifier. Output Range The output range determines the maximum output signal that can 88

How does an amplifier work?


Power Supply Rails Limits the Range In a perfect world an input signal can be infinitely multiplied by the gain factor to determine the output signal. For example: Input Signal Gain Output Signal 2mV 1 2mV 2mV 2 4mV 2mV 10 20mV 2mV 100 200mV 2mV 10,000 20V In the real world, however, the power supply rails limit the possible output range of the amplifier. For example, a bio-amplifier could have a range of 5.0V. In order for the output signal to be faithfully reproduced, the input signal times the gain factor must fall within the voltage window set by the power rails. Otherwise, the output signal will go off scale, and the input signal will not be faithfully

l Rack mountable and stackable l Ergonomic design l 8-Channel l Small footprint
Signal conditioning in the last decade has increasingly moved in the direction of the computer, because the software preserves the raw data and is highly reliable. Operations such as integration, differentiation, filtration and even waveform generation are now efficiently handled in software. On the other hand, however, the transduction of physical signals such as bio-potentials, force, temperature, pressure or ionic concentrations must be measured with an electronic amplifier. transducer outputs and the outputs from electrochemical free radical sensors. This platform simply focuses on the reliable transduction of the electronic signal and provides a convenient passage for the translation of real world signals to a computer for analysis. The system consists of an 8-channel, rack mountable frame that includes an ultra quiet, shielded power supply. All of the module outputs are routed to rear panel connectors. If you prefer, outputs may be routed internally to the inputs of other modules. The system has a small footprint and may be stacked to provide as many channels as you need.

8-Channel Enclosure
The SI-BMFA Power Frame is the foundation of the SI Heidelberg modular physiology suite. It incorporates a robust power supply that can accommodate up to eight physiology modules, which can be mixed or matched in any combination. Modules are quick and easy to install, thanks to an innovative and mechanically solid card rail system. Features l 8 channel slots l Backplane design includes provision for configurable communication between modules

A300 Pulsemaster Multi-Channel Stimulator

STIMULATORS, ISOLATORS

An integrated five-channel pulse generator/stimulator including one inter val generator, five pulse or train channels, two mixer channels and one very quiet variable voltage output stage
The Pulsemaster (Model A300) is WPIs third generation, multichannel, pulse/train generator/stimulator that combines the superb accuracy of digital electronics with the you-see-what-you-get displays only available on single-channel products. In one compact rack mountable enclosure, the Pulsemaster contains an event interval generator, five pulse train channels, two mixing channels and a very quiet variable voltage output channel. System timing is accurate to 100 ppm; output timing is continuously variable in 0.1% of full scale increments over a range of eight orders of magnitude. Bright, threedigit LED displays continuously and simultaneously show all the variable timing parameters. The Pulsemaster is designed for ease of use and flexibility. Each channel can be operated synchronized with the onboard event interval generator, triggered manually from any other channel or external source, and as an independent asynchronous pulse generator. Except for the external source, all channel interconnections are accomplished on the panel, without the use of cables. The output from each channel is compatible with standard digital circuitry and is also designed to drive WPIs A300 series stimulus isolators. If desired, any channels output may be internally connected to the variable channel, whose amplitude can be continuously adjusted from millivolts to ten volts. a highly accurate and stable crystal oscillator, the EVENT INTERVAL generates synchronization pulses at regular intervals. The width of the sync pulses is fixed at approximately 6 s, but their repetition interval is panel adjustable from 10 s to 999 s, using the display and its associated switches. Sync pulses may also be generated at random or irregular intervals by using the SINGLE EVENT or the EXTernal SYNC mode. The sync pulses are internally distributed to the five PULSE TRAIN channels and are also available externally through the SYNC OUT connector.

The Pulse Train


There are five PULSE TRAIN channels in the Pulsemaster. Except for sharing a common power supply, each is an independent instrument. Each channel has two adjustable timing parameters, DE LAY and WIDTH, which in combination with internal or external signals may be used to create a variety of pulse and train waveforms. DELAY and WIDTH parameters can be changed while the instrument is operating. The basic difference between PULSE and TRAIN modes is the number of pulses that can be generated per sync pulse. In PULSE mode, only one pulse is generated for each sync pulse. As the sync pulse is received from one of the selected input sources, the leading rising edge of the pulse is recognized and a DELAY time/pulse WIDTH pair is generated. In TRAIN mode, multiple pulses can be generated per sync pulse. As in PULSE mode, as the leading rising edge of the sync pulse is recognized, a pulse WIDTH/DELAY pair is generated.

The Event Interval


The EVENT INTERVAL is the heartbeat of the Pulsemaster. Based on

A300 PULSEMASTER SPECIFICATIONS


Pulses (WIDTH/DELAY pairs) are continuously produced as long as the sync pulse is still high at the conclusion of the DELAY time. By means of the INPUT SELECT switch, sync pulses can be received from an external source through the EXT SYNC connector, manually by the SINGLE switch, from any of the other PULSE TRAIN channels, or one of the MIXER channels. The channel may also be disabled by switching to one of the OFF positions. EXT SYNC position: permits control of the PULSE TRAIN channel by other instruments and computers. SELF SYNC position: the channel becomes a free running pulse generator. The symmetry of the waveform can be adjusted by varying the DELAY and/or the WIDTH times. SINGLE EVENT position: pulses are generated at your discretion. Every time the SINGLE button is pressed, one and only one DELAY/ WIDTH sequence is generated. EI position: connects the output of the EVENT INTERVAL generator to the input of the PULSE TRAIN channel. For every output sync pulse from the EVENT INTERVAL generator, one DELAY/WIDTH pair is generated. PT positions (4): internally connect the outputs from the respective PULSE TRAIN channels to the input of this PULSE TRAIN channel. In the PULSE mode, for every OUTPUT pulse from the other selected PULSE TRAIN channel, one DELAY/WIDTH pair is generated from this channel. In the TRAIN mode, pulses are generated from this channel as long as the pulse from the other channel remains high. MIX positions (2): internally connect the outputs from the respective MIXER channels to the input of this PULSE TRAIN channel. In the PULSE mode, for every OUTPUT pulse from the MIXER channel, one DELAY/WIDTH pair is generated from this channel. In TRAIN mode, pulses are generated from this channel as long as the pulse from the MIXER channel remains high. OUTPUT connector: supplies the waveforms generated by the PULSE TRAIN channel. This OUTPUT is designed to drive WPIs A300 series stimulus isolators. It is also useful for synchronizing other instruments (recorders, oscilloscopes, computers, etc.) with the pulses generated from the Pulsemaster.

The Mixer
The MIXER does what its name implies, it combines any or all of the outputs of the PULSE TRAIN channels with external signals into one waveform. It can also provide a continuous (DC ON) or momentary (DC MOM) high level signal. The Mixer OUTPUT connector supplies the combination waveforms generated by the MIXER channel to drive WPIs A300 series stimulus isolators or to synchronize the operation of other instruments with the Pulsemaster.

The Variable Channel


The VARIABLE channel can replicate the OUTPUT waveforms from any of the PULSE TRAIN or MIXER channels at amplitudes that can be varied from millivolts to ten volts. The channel also provides a very low noise, adjustable DC voltage source: the DC mode which converts the VARIABLE channel into a constant voltage source. The OUTPUT connector supplies the amplitude modified waveform or the DC voltage level of the VARIABLE channel.

Isostim Stimulator/Isolator
Combining the ease of use and accuracy of WPIs 300 Series stimulators with the power output of a stimulus isolator

Timing Pulse interval and width are set with single-turn continuously variable controls from 5 ms to 5.5 s in three ranges. Pulse width is continuously variable from 50 s to 550 ms in four ranges. Modes of operation In FREE RUN, Isostim generates continuous square waves. In EXT GATE or EXT SYNC modes, externally applied pulses can generate trains or single events. Single pulses of finite duration can be produced using a push-button on the instruments front panel. EXT/DC mode converts Isostim to a passive stimulus isolator. Dual tone audible alarm A tone sounds when an open circuit is detected or when system compliance is reached. A second tone, which sounds when a signal is applied to the input, can only be heard if the batteries have sufficient charge to operate the isolator. A violation light advises when pulse width exceeds the interval.

Current delivery Stimulus currents up to 10 mA can be set on the front panel with a control knob and a two-position range switch. Output current is load-independent. Power Isostim model A320D is powered by readily obtainable 9-volt alkaline batteries (included). Under average use these will last several months before replacement is required. The rechargeable A320R is supplied with a nickel metal hydride battery stack which provides 10-12 hours of operation before recharge is required. the a362 battery Charger must be used with the a320r.

A385 High Current Stimulus Isolator


STIMULATORS, ISOLATORS
Delivers positive, negative, or bipolar currents. For bipolar delivery, polarity of the output is toggled to the opposite state with each pulse presented to the input. Pulse duration is controlled by an externally applied voltage. Input connector is a standard BNC, allowing signals from any source such as computer D/A or I/O lines to be used. Output amplitude is set on a 3-digit, ten-turn dial as a percentage of the range selected: for example, a setting of 45.6 in the 0-10 mA range translates to 4.56 mA at the output. Accuracy and repeatability are excellent. Designed for subcutaneous stimulation, maximum output voltage at the stimulating electrodes is 36 volts, reducing the possibility of serious accidental transcutaneous shocks. A compliance/output alarm sounds

when the 36-volt limit is reached. Internal circuitry maintains electrodes short-circuited during inactive periods (electrode exhauster feature). A385 is not appropriate for transcutaneous stimulation. The 1.2 amp-hour rating of the six heavy-duty lead-acid rechargeable batteries ensures that experiments will not be interrupted by dead batteries even at peak currents. Indicator lights and audible alarms keep the user constantly apprised of battery charge status. These batteries must be recharged by the A382 System Charger designed especially for the A385.

All WPI stimulus isolators are designed to supply constant current because current threshold (not voltage) is the most quantitatively reproducible parameter for stimulation of nerve and muscle. Model A395 dispenses current reproducibly from its Output terminals; the amplitude being determined by the selected current RANGE and the input voltage. Current amplitude is constant, that is, load resistance independent, provided that the I x R (load) product does not exceed the available battery supply voltage. A visual indicator (the compliance LEDs) displays if I x R reaches this limit. When the unit is out of compliance, one of the two LEDs (labeled - and +) illuminate, depending in which direction the current is flowing. Model A395 D can generate a voltage of 70 volts or more across its OUTPUT terminals. Thus, the user can be sure that the amplitude of the current will be as dialed as long as the voltage drop across the load (stimulus electrode path) does not reach the magnitude of the supply voltage. The compliance LEDs will then be visible. The user would then know that (a) too much current was dialed for a given load or (b) interelectrode resistance was too high or the electrode circuit path was open. Model A395 generates an output current of arbitrary (user-defined) wave shape; DC, AC, pulse, and combinations thereof. Battery operated, and photoelectrically-isolated from the input voltage drive, the instrument regenerates output currents which are linearly proportional to the analog voltage waveforms provided by your D/A converter or signal generator (see diagram below). The A395 is ideally suited for data acquisition and stimulator generators. It can be easily daisy-chained for mutiple channel requirements.

DS8000 8-Channel Digital Stimulator

Single board computer w/ LCD touch screen Scope mode displays waveforms 8 banks of 3 timers, synchronous / asynchronous 8 internal and 8 external trigger inputs 32 separate outputs ( 24 BNC's front panel )

Lifetime firmware upgrades via serial / Ethernet Unipolar, bipolar, paired pulse, sine, ramp, custom Custom upload of real biopotentials 2 independent full parameter memory banks GLP / GCP compliant w / password protection
In fact, this decade old technology has serious limitations since each control button has been programmed to perform multiple functions. Moreover, it can only display limited lines of scrolled textno graphics! To complicate matters, it is almost impossible to upgrade the software with new functions once the instrument has been manufactured; even the programming is awkward. The DS8000 overcomes the hardware limitations of other types of stimulators by being reliant on a flexible software-timing interface. The user can then apply this dynamically to almost any kind of stimulation protocol without being restricted by the hardware limitations of the traditional logical circuit based stimulators. In order to suit complex custom protocols, the DS8000 is designed to offer a unique flexibility by simply reprogramming the pattern output using a few keystrokes under pull-down menus. Although it may be argued that some functions of the DS8000 can be implemented on a standard PC, it is important to recognize that the inherent design of a PC operating system makes the accurate delivery of precision pulse protocols impossible. Despite the fact that PCs are very economical, they are simply not designed to generate highly accurate timing because the microprocessor resources are not prioritized for this function. In addition, analog waveform generation is not readily available without adding expensive output boards and the required programming is non-standard. The DS8000 platform is based on a powerful single board computer that is fully dedicated to the temporal accuracy and precision required in current biological and neurological research. Indeed, the DS8000 Digital Stimulator offers all of these solutions plus Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) compliance for research traceability. DS8000 there is no competition!

STIMULATORS, ISOLATORS

The DS8000 represents a quantum leap in the performance of the research stimulator, and is the most advanced stimulator on the market. With a built-in computer, the entire waveform is generated digitally with precision timing. The DS8000 can generate stimulating wave patterns of a complexity unmatched by any other instrument on the market. A built in digital oscilloscope allows the user to preview waveforms on the LCD. An Ethernet connection allows the user to transfer custom waveforms and upgrade the software using TCP/IP protocol via remote access. The DS8000 has 8 analog outputs, 8 TTL outputs and 8 combined analog or TTL outputs. Each combined output can be comprised of a combination of any of 1 to 8 channels. Eight independent internal timers and eight independent external triggers are offered. The built-in waveforms include unipolar, bipolar, and paired pulse, as well as step, sine, ramp and custom. An external trigger, internal analog channel, internal TTL channel, or any of the eight built-in timers can be assigned to control each output channel. A unique feature of the DS8000 is the capability to stimulate with a waveform that is identical or similar to real biopotential wave patterns associated with ECG, EEG or action potentials. A biopotential waveform captured by a data acquisition system may be transferred to an Excel spreadsheet for editing or modification, then loaded into to the DS8000. One of the main problems of designing a stimulator is that a user might want very different stimulating patterns for different research applications. In order to satisfy all of these needs, traditional logical circuit based stimulators have control panels that use buttons and knobs to give the user as much control options as possible. However, even with a full panel of buttons, the selection of the stimulating pattern is still very limited. These types of stimulators can not generate complicated waveforms, such as combination pulses at varying interpulse intervals and amplitudes. Although microprocessorbased stimulators have made a significant step in solving these problems, certain complex waveforms are still impossible to generate.

A quantum leap in the performance of the research stimulator


Soft Keys and GuI interface The DS8000 employs soft keys, which are programmable controls widely used in several menu options to sequentially change the numerical value of any variable waveform parameter. The DS8000s soft keys are easily recognized as single or double + and - signs located adjacent to a parameter value box (Fig. 1). Soft keys provide quick and easy access to modify parameter values on the fly during an experiment. The GUI interface (Fig. 3) enables the user to assign the incremental value of the soft key to suit the needs of the experiment. Alternatively, a pop-up numeric keypad is accessible for each parameter to program a precise value that is not a multiple of the softkey-preset increment.

Fig. 1 Channel Settings Paired Pulse Protocol The DS8000s Paired Pulse function allows the user to generate triggered paired pulses (including refractory period) from a single channel without the use of a train function. WPIs paired pulse algorithm simplifies the arduous repetitive task normally associated with manual resetting of interpulse intervals in refractory studies. Auto-increment eliminates the need to overlap train functions from multiple channels to generate a complete protocol. Thus, there is a significant reduction in setup time and a minimization of the potential for human error during interactive protocol modification. Fig. 1 shows Channel 1 configured in the TRIGGERED PAIRED PULSE mode. In this example, a dual pulse event occurs synchronously with each trigger pulse from Channel 8, which is set to trigger every 300 ms. The initial interpulse interval is set to 20 ms. Subsequent interpulse intervals are automatically incremented by 35 ms for each three consecutive paired pulse events. The resulting paired pulse is displayed in the lower trace on the DS8000 scope (Fig. 2). The upper trace shows the master trigger pulse set up on Channel 8.

Fig. 3 Graphic User Interface CA BNC outputs. The setup in Fig. 4 indicates that all TTL channels are assigned to their respective CTTL outputs with the exception of the output of CTTL 1, which is assigned a combination of the TTL signals from channels 4 and 5. Changing assignments is as easy as checking the associated box. The CA tab reveals an identical matrix for programming the COMBINED ANALOG BNC outputs.

Digital Linear Stimulus Isolator


for use with DS8000 Digital Stimulator
Top View

STIMULATORS, ISOLATORS

The new DLS100 is preferentially optimized for applications in which the DS8000 digital stimulator is used. DLS100 connects to the DS8000 via a flexible cable through which it receives power and stimulus signals in a digital format. Up to eight DLS100 isolators can be connected independently to one DS8000. Very high isolation is achieved through the use of optical coupling of the digital signal and a galvanically isolated DC power supply within the DLS100. Unlike some other multi-channel isolators, this digital isolator can be located at the site of the experiment, allowing the use of short connecting leads and thereby preserving high isolation and fast signal rise and fall times. The DLS100 operates in two modes: current source or voltage source. In the current source mode, the output current is proportional to the amplitude and polarity of the signal generated by the DS8000. In the voltage source mode, the output voltage is proportional to the amplitude and polarity of the signal generated by the DS8000. The DLS100 has user-selectable push-button switches that select different current or voltage ranges (the full-scale current from 1 A to 10 mA, or the 10V and 100V full-scale, respectively). Three status indicators on the DLS100 indicate power on, activity (presence of signal from DS8000) as well as an alarm (over-range condition) indicator. Over-range can occur when the resistance of the load (the experiment) is too high for the current or voltage that is demanded from the DLS100.

Patch Clamp Capillary Glass


To select the best patch clamp glass for your experiments, we have evaluated available glass types in terms of the four properties most crucial to successful patch clamp studies: The softening temperature determines how easily each glass type can be pulled to the desired shape and the extent to which it can be heat polished. Glass with a high softening temperature is difficult to pull and causes unnecessary wear on the heating element of the puller. This makes it very hard to make electrodes that are reproducible and of consistent quality. Patch clamp glass with a low softening temperature is preferred; however, higher softening temperature glass is stronger. Electrical properties determine how much noise the glass is likely to produce in recording situations. The lower the product of dielectric constant times the loss factor, the smaller the equivalent noise current the glass will produce (Rae and Levis, Methods in Enzymology, 207, p67, 1992). Patch clamp glass with good electrical properties is critical especially in single-channel recording. Sealability: It is not clear what factors determine the sealing ability of the patch to the glass. Almost any glass can form a gigohm seal under the right conditions. Different glass types vary, however, in how easily they form a seal. It is important to select a patch clamp glass that seals easily. Good fire polish is critical for seal (see DMF1000). Leachable components: Substances leached from glass can alter channel behavior. Since different channels are sensitive to different glass components, it is best to record one type of channel with several different kinds of pipette glass to eliminate any artifact due to the glass. WPI offers capillary tubing made from two glass types widely used in constructing patch clamp electrodes. The significant characteristics of each are as follows: PG52151-4, PG52152-4 and PG52165-4 are prepared from Schott #8250 glass (equivalent to Corning #7052), one of the most widely used patch clamping glasses. This is a specially formulated borosilicate glass with a softening temperature that is 110C lower than regular borosilicate glass (Corning 7740, or Pyrex). It has excellent sealing properties for most cells. Electrical properties are also very good. PG10150-4 and PG10165-4 are composed of Corning #0010 glass, a high lead content (22% PbO) glass. Its thermal and electrical performance is between the Schott #8250 and Corning #8161 glasses described above. It is much more economical than Corning #8161 glass. It has been found that this glass causes much less alteration in channel behavior than Corning #8161 and Schott #8250 glass (Furman and Tanaka, Biophys. J. 53, p287, 1988). Patch clamp capillaries do not have microfilaments.

MicroFil

WPIs MicroFil fills micropipettes easily and reliably. Its long and fine tip allows you to start the filling very close to the pipette tip, eliminating both air bubble formation and clogging due to the washing down of dust particles. The transparent amber MicroFil needle is constructed from a combination of plastic and fused silica no metal components are used. The MicroFil needle can be stored for days with the filling solution inside without clogging.

The MicroFils tip elasticity is sturdy and very flexible though not unbreakable. Since it is more flexible than stainless steel needles, moderate bending will not block or damage the MicroFil needle. The combination of plastic and fused silica in the MicroFil tip is sturdier than plastic tips, allowing easy and repeated insertions into micropipettes. MicroFils luer fitting allows easy coupling to syringes and syringe filters. 1-5 pkgs US$ 59 US$ 59 US$ 59 6-10 pkgs US$ 49 US$ 49 US$ 49

Micropipette Holders & Half-Cells


WPIs microelectrode holder-half-cells couple fluid-filled glass micropipettes to high input impedance amplifiers. A Ag/AgCl pellet (or a silver wire) molded into the holder body provides stable potential. Electrical connection is made via male 2 mm pins or female 2 mm sockets. The pipette may be mounted axially or at right angles to the holder. Pipettes are held with screw-caps or rubber gaskets (without caps). Filling WPI microelectrode holders with electrolytes containing chloride results in stable electrode potential. Suitable electrolytes include KCl, NaCl and CaCl2. Holders are supplied for standard WPI single capillary tubing of 1.0, 1.2, 1.5 and 2.0 mm outside diameters. (Call WPI regarding custom designs for other glass diameters.) The holder style you select will depend on your experimental application, space, and instrumentation. Hints for selecting and ordering micropipette holders 1 . Determine the required electrical connection on the holder: for example, if you wish to connect the holder to a 2 mm pin you should select a holder equipped with a 2 mm jack. Most WPI probes require a holder equipped with a 2 mm jack. 2 . Decide on the required alignment of the electrical connection: either in-line with the glass pipette, or at a right angle to it. Space considerations in your experimental setup and requirements imposed by other pieces of equipment typically determine which alignment is appropriate. 3 . Determine if you want to hold the glass pipette by a rubber gasket (e.g., MEH1S) or a screw-cap (e.g., MEH3S). Rubber gaskets offer easier insertion and removal of glass pipettes whereas screw-caps provide more secure mounts for micropipetters. 4 . Choose a holder with either a silver wire or a silver/silver chloride pellet for the metal/liquid coupling. Silver/silver chloride pellets provide a more stable low-noise baseline which is important for low-noise DC recording. Pellets require the glass pipette and holder to be free of air bubbles to achieve a good connection. Silver wire holders are durable and are easier to use when the holder is equipped with a pressure port because the fluid in the pipette does not have to be filled to the top of the pipette to achieve a good electrical connection 5 . Choose a holder equipped with a pressure port only when you want to pressure inject liquid from the pipette. Two types of ports are available: 2.0 mm O.D. and standard syringe-style luer. The luer port is often recommended because it makes assembly and disassembly much easier. Quick-connect luer fittings for four common sizes of tubing (1/16", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32" I.D.) are included with each luer-equipped holder. 6 . Some non-WPI preamplifiers or headstages cannot be mounted on micromanipulators. In such cases, a holder equipped with a rod (e.g., MEH8) permits the holder to be conveniently mounted on a micromanipulator. 7 . Finally, remember to specify the O.D. of the glass you will be using when you place your order. MEH6RF/SF is designed primarily for use with the Model 900A Micropressure System; EHB1 for use in electrode beveling; and MEH3SW for microtitration of chloride with a silver wire as the electrode and a solution of silver nitrate filling the holder. MPH models do not contain Ag/AgCl half-cells and are used for pressure injection of substances through microelectrodes. PicoNozzle, used for pressure injection with PV800 Series PicoPumps, includes an MPH6S holder which may also be used to couple a micropipette to a syringe. APEH models are also designed for use in pressurized injection procedures.

BetterSkin Electrodes

ket soc lable! DIN avai now

WPIs unique Ag/AgCl pellet manufacturing process gives increased mechanical strength for extra durability Highly porous surface for low impendence, high current passing capability and stable, low noise measurements High flex cable comes in shielded and unshielded form (Carbon fiber cable for NMR environment is available upon request) Strong epoxy house increases durability and makes cleaning easy Ultra-high purity material for low offset and drift
sized electrodes (13-16 mm OD) are general purpose electrodes and appropriate for most applications. The 19-mm large size electrodes are designed for optimal surface skin contact for use during long-term biopotential recording. Three different connector and cable combinations are offered: a 2-mm pin with 1 meter unshielded cable; a 2-mm pin with 1 meter shielded cable (shielding is connected to an additional 2 mm grounding pin); and 1.5 mm DIN safety socket with 1 meter unshielded cable. All electrodes require adhesive disks (e.g., WPI's ADD200 series) and recording gel (GEL100). Bulk discount orders are possible and tradeinquiries are also welcome.

& ELECTRODES

GLASS, HOLDERS

WPI's new BetterSkinelectrodes are high quality Ag/AgCl reusable surface-mounted electrodes designed to be used for the acquisition of all biopotentials. Each electrode is fabricated using an optimum quality sintered Ag/AgCl pellet encased within a strong epoxy housing designed to have an extended lifetime. The result is a superior electrode that provides accurate and clear transmission of even the smallest surface biopotentials. In comparison to standard stamped metal electrodes and Ag/ AgCl disposable electrodes, WPI's BetterSkin electrodes provide increased stability, lower noise and lower offset voltage during surface biopotential recording. These features are particularly important during measurement of very small potential signals, such as EMG or EEG recording. Four BetterSkin electrode sizes are currently offered: 7-mm, 13-mm, 16-mm and 19-mm (OD). The 7-mm electrodes are designed for use where close spacing between biopotential recording sites is required. The medium

Microfil

WPis MicroFil fills micropipettes easily and reliably. its long and fine tip allows you to start the filling very close to the pipette tip, eliminating both air bubble formation and clogging due to the washing down of dust particles. The transparent amber MicroFil needle is constructed from a combination of plastic and fused silica no metal components are used. The MicroFil needle can be stored for days with the filling solution inside without clogging.

The MicroFils tip elasticity is sturdy and very flexible though not unbreakable. Since it is more flexible than stainless steel needles, moderate bending will not block or damage the MicroFil needle. The combination of plastic and fused silica in the MicroFil tip is sturdier than plastic tips, allowing easy and repeated insertions into micropipettes. MicroFils luer fitting allows easy coupling to syringes and syringe filters. 1-5 pkgs US$ 56 US$ 56 US$ 56 6-10 pkgs US$ 45 US$ 45 US$ 45

Kwik-Gard

Scotch-Weld 2216 Structural Epoxy

Kwik-Gard is specially packaged Sylgard 184 silicone for quicker and easier application, eliminating the messy procedure of preparing the mixture before application. Its special cartridge controls the precise mixing ratio to ensure proper curing. The disposable tip mixes resin and hardener as they are dispensed. Since no air is introduced during mixing, the resin does not need degassing for most applications. The mixed silicone is applied directly to the site, reducing preparation time and material waste. Each Kwik-Gard cartridge contains 37 mL of resin and hardener. The dispensing tip has a dead volume of 0.75 mL.

Low toxicity 5-minute adhesives for live tissues!


Specially formulated for WPI Extremely low toxicity Excellent moisture resistance Cures at room temperature
The properties of this adhesive make it exceptionally useful for neuroscience applications, peripheral nerve studies and similar biomedical applications. These new silicone elastomers also eliminate the mess and time involved in pre-mixing other commonly used formulations (such as Wacker SilGel and Sylgard). Each silicone elastomer is packaged in a double barrel syringe and is automatically mixed when pressed out of the mixer tip provided. It can then be applied directly to the tissue without further mixing. The curing time of these silicones is short, reliable and reproducible thus eliminating potential costly guesswork when using other tissue adhesives. Furthermore, the curing process does not produce heat, which can otherwise cause tissue damage. WPIs silicone elastomers are much less toxic than dental silicone because they contain no surfactant additives. WPIs silicone elastomers are based on recently developed vinyl terminated siloxane and platinum complex catalysts. They exhibit exceptional low toxicity before, during and after curing. The traditional RTV silicone systems produce either acetic acid or alcohol during condensation; these compounds are toxic to living cells. In contrast, the only by-product of condensation from WPIs elastomers is a small amount of hydrogen gas, which was shown not to cause any effect on nerve activity in highly sensitive peripheral nerves. Both elastomers cure on contact with the tissue. Currently, WPI provides rapid-curing silicone elastomers in two different formulas: sealant. It is able to fill small spaces around nerves and creates a continuous mass ensuring longterm recording stability. KwikCast is color-coded so mixing is foolproof. It can be applied and cured underneath mineral oil. The slight longer curing time (approx. 3 minutes) makes it more suitable for stationary preparations and in vitro tissue studies.

Super Adhesives for Life Science research


Cyanoacrylate adhesives have been on the market since 1958. Most industrial or household grade cyanoacrylate is made of shorter alkyl chain derivatives such as methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate (WPIs #7341 and #7342). They are very useful for temporarily holding tissues such as mounting specimens for microtome sectioning. However, they are not suitable for bonding wounds on live animals. The difficulties of using cyanoacrylate for bonding live animals are: (1) a strong, irritating odor; (2) quick loss of bonding strength due to breakdown of the bonding by hydration; (3) the breakdown products, cyanoacetate and formaldehyde, are toxic and can cause inflammatory reactions; and (4) they have low flexibility and tend to be brittle. To overcome these problems, several longer alkyl chain cyanoacrylates have been developed especially for veterinary and human use. The first longer alkyl chain product is butyl cyanoacrylate. This product has been used for animal and human applications outside the uSA since 1970. It is much less toxic and has a lower odor than the methyl or ethyl cyanoacrylate. The butyl cyanoacrylate offered by WPI is Vetbond. A family of adhesives containing octyl cyanoacrylate, a plasticizer and stabilizer, was developed In the 1990s (one of them approved by FDA for human use). When bonding to tissue, these new adhesives are four times stronger and less toxic than butyl cyanoacrylate. Compared with the traditional suture, the new super adhesive has several advantages. On average, it takes only one-tenth of the time to close an incision. The bonding strength is equal to 5-0 monofilament suture. It also has a mysterious antimicrobial effect that can decrease infection rates in contaminated wounds. Bonding will slough off naturally in 5 to 7 days. Cosmetic appearance of the healed incision is also better. Gluture Topical Tissue Adhesive #503763 forms a strong and flexible film and is thus more suitable for surface wound bonding, protection, and holding a sensor or other device on the tissue. Setting time is about 10 seconds, which gives ample time for application. It can also be used for temporarily holding a live tissue. For example, there is a report of using it to hold nematodes on a glass slide for patch-clamp neurons recording. All of the products offered by WPI are veterinary grade (not suitable for human application). Though very similar to the grade for human use, they are not sterile and do not have FDA approval. 503763 7341 7342 VETBOND

PiezoPatch Micromanipulator
PiezoPatchTM Micromanipulator (PPM5000) is a unique piezo-motor driven micromanipulator with ultra high resolution (<1 nm/step), super low drift (<4 nm/h), and long travel range (~10 mm/axis) . It is ideal for patchclamp, electrophysiology and other high precision applications within the life sciences . PiezoPatch establishes a new standard in micromanipulator design . At the heart of the PiezoPatch is WPIs proprietary SonicWaveTM piezomotor that is controlled at 1 arc-second (13600 of a degree) per step . This angular resolution translates to a theoretical linear movement of ~0 .4-nm per step, an ultra high resolution that is beyond normal measurement capability using standard methods . Another key advantage of the PiezoPatch motor is the extreme stability . When de-energized, the SonicWaveTM motor is completely locked with absolutely no rotation . This locking mechanism completely eliminates mechanical drift in the micromanipulator . This design is significantly different compared to all other types of electromagnetic motors or piezo-operated micromanipulators, which still require electric power to hold at the stopped position . Electric power can introduce electrical noise, which can interfere with experimental measurements . Furthermore, instabilities in electrical power supply can cause drift of the micromanipulator . Thermal drift is also caused by heat generated in the stopped motor . These problems are completely eliminated by the PiezoPatch SonicWaveTM motor, since it does not require power to maintain its stopped position during the experiment . One additional feature of the SonicWaveTM motor is its extremely high output torque compared to motors of same size . This enables skip free precise movement of the micromanipulator even under heavy load . PiezoPatch has three distinct movement modes: Step, Continuous, and Penetration . Continuous mode allows the micromanipulator to move quickly (continuously) from the starting position towards the object . Step mode enables ultra fine movements to be controlled by a single step in increments as small as 1 nm per step . Penetration mode is used when the glass micropipette is positioned close to the cell membrane and the x-axis piezo motor is then activated using the joystick button . This causes the micropipette to penetrate the membrane at high speed while minimizing membrane disturbance . The ergonomic joystick controller can move each axis or all axes in three coordinate directions simultaneously . The speed of the travel is determined by the deflection on the joystick . Since each movement is too

Universal Manipulator Stand


Universal Micromanipulator Stands enable scientists to mount their manual and motorized micromanipulators at variable angles and heights . A solid aluminum platform with a grooved tower allows the user to attach any micromanipulator of any size or shape to the post for infinite flexibility . Once mounted, the micromanipulator can be set at any height along the entire length (30 cm or 45 cm) . The platform base comes configured with industry standard pre-bored holes (1/4-20 x 1 or M6 x 25 mm), allowing direct mounting to any type vibrationfree table (for patch clamp recordings) or optical bench (for laser and optical measurements) . Using additional Rotation Clamps (one included with stand), two or more micromanipulators can be mounted on the stand simultaneously in a space-saving convenient manner . WPIs Universal Stand not only allows the user 360 flexibility in manipulations but also promotes independent angular transitions using a single feather-light tensioner/adjustment screw . This affordable stand is currently the preferred choice in micromanipulator stands head and shoulders above setups using multiple magnetic-based stands costing hundreds more when combined with antiquated heavy steel base plates .

High speed penetration and precise control


The piezo-ceramic element in WPIs MPM10 provides high penetration speed over an extremely short distance (0 .5 to 10 .0 m) . Because the range of travel of a dedicated piezomanipulator is much too limited for it to be useful independently, it must be mounted on a manipulator . The MPM-10 piezo translator combined with a DC3001 motorized micromanipulator (available separately) provides a single electronically controlled system . When the piezo element is activated, the MPM-10 axis carrying the micropipette shoots forward at a rate which is set on the control panel, then immediately returns (at a slower speed) to its starting position . As soon as the piezo element begins its reverse travel, the motorized manipulator starts to travel forward . The complimentary opposition of these two travel sequences results in the micropipette tip remaining in its advanced absolute position . The three axes of the DC3001 are controlled by six buttons . Pressing a button for less than 0 .3 seconds activates one step, the size of which (0 .5 to 10 .0 micron) is set on the Step Size control . Pressing longer activates the continuous mode, at the rate set on the Motor Speed control . Pressing the button for the X axis forward direction activates the piezo mode . Advancement speed of the piezo element can be separately adjusted from 1 to 100 mm/sec . Precise construction and special vibration stabilizers ensure the MPM-10s excellent

For use with M3301 and DC3001 micromanipulators
Especially recommended for use with the M3301 micromanipulator, the MPM20 is a very efficient tool for intracellular injection . High penetration speed and precise axial advance allows injection pipette to be brought to its target position with tremendous accuracy . Lateral escape of the cell is almost eliminated, and even tough membranes can be penetrated . Independently selectable reverse speed setting can be used for fast withdrawal, preventing adhesion of the injected cell to pipette tip . Mounts directly onto DC3001 and M3301 micromanipulators . Use with DC3001 requires MS314 controller (for the micromanipulator) . The combination of the MPM20, a micromanipulator, and the PV820 PicoPump (see page 194) constitutes an extremely efficient system for intracellular injection; cell penetration, injection and withdrawal are executed automatically with the press of a button .

Vibration-Free Tables
All buildings vibrate activities of people, machinery, heating and ventilation systems, and nearby truck or rail traffic cause all types of vibrations . These vibrations, though, acceptable to occupants, cannot be tolerated by equipment used in patch clamping, cell injection, analytical balances, and optical microscopes . The short-term effects of such vibrations include inconsistant and unreliable performance . The long-term effects are excessive wear, maintenance, and fatigue failures . In order to protect sensitive instruments and equipment from faulty operation or failure this vibration must be significantly reduced . This can be efficiently accomplished by using Vibration-Free Platform and Vibration-Free Workstation .

Precision Heater Controller


Smart, electrically quiet air heater for live cell imaging systems and custom incubators
Maintenance of the desired temperature set-point can now be achieved through the use of a precision, shielded temperature probe coupled to a peripheral Air-Therm heating unit . Precision: Noise is a major concern in any experimental application . WPI's Air-Therm is electrically quiet as well as acoustically quiet) . Since the Air-Therm can be placed away from the incubator, any residual electrical and vibrational interference from the heater is virtually eliminated . Accuracy of 0 .1C can be routinely maintained at the sample site (using a fully programmable differential algorithm to automatically adjust the temperature on the Air-Therm unit) . AirTherm maintains a uniform temperature across the microscope stage (allowing for uniform heating of multiwell dishes) . These tight tolerances result in minimal focal drift once sample/incubator equilibrium has been achieved . Glass Bottom Dishes: For high numerical aperture (NA) live-cell imaging, cells must be plated on glass (e.g., WPIs FluoroDish Glass Bottom Dishes, spotting 0 .17 mm glass thickness) or standard cover slips . Since cover slips inherit other problems associated with sterility and accidental damage to expensive microscope condensers, WPI designed new and improved glass bottom dishes (35 mm x 10 mm or 35 mm X 22 mm) that are not cytotoxic . A special adhesive in conjunction with an advanced dish design makes the FluoroDish the only non-cytotoxic glass dish in the world . (See page 210.) This means that cells can actually be cultured

MICROSCOPES, CAMERAS

for 4 to 5 days in the same dish and then carry the complete cell culture with media from the incubator directly into the (Air-Therm controlled) recording chamber . This is a comfort level that hitherto was unattainable by scientists and clinical researchers since cells will have to be transported from the culture dishes on to cover slips just prior to imagery or attaching patch electrodes . Chamber: The most problematic aspect of any live cell imaging procedure or patch clamp approach is the thermal drift of high magnification lenses caused by temperature fluctuations in the microscope's environment . It is necessary to constantly readjust the focus during image acquisition due to this thermal-drift, introducing artifacts during quantitative microscopy due to the photo-bleaching that occurs during refocusing . The optimal solution to this problem is to use WPIs AirTherm temperature controller connected to a Plexiglas or acrylic chamber that encloses the entire imaging area (or at least the objectives and the stage) . Using such a chamber will result in highly stable temperature control and minimal thermal drift .

FluoroDish
Cover-glass bottom for observing and growing cells in imaging related research
Optical quality glass bottom for better imaging quality (RI=1.525) Low sample volume for expensive chemicals Lowest access angle for micropipette Low toxicity adhesive for embryo research
WPIs FluoroDish tissue culture dishes are now available in a larger range of sizes and coatings . These polycarbonate dishes provide exceptional imaging quality for many applications requiring the use of inverted microscopes such as high resolution image analysis, microinjection and electrophysical recording of fluorescent-tagged cells . Taking advantage of WPIs extensive experience with low toxicity adhesives, FluoroDish uses a specially formulated adhesive that is optically clear, durable and with extremely low toxicity . Tests by an independent laboratory have shown that the 96-hour surviving rate of embryos is 100% when kept in FluoroDish, substantially better than some other brands . The bottom glass has superior UV transmission (30% transmission at 300 nm, compared to less than 7% for the most popular German glass) . Stringent quality control ensures that glass thickness stays within the 0 .17 0 .01 mm range .

MICROSCOPES, CAMERAS

brighter images for fluorescence and higher resolution in Image Analysis . The glass bottom permits the use of immersion objectives with medium such as water, glycerin or oil for the highest magnification possible . To optimize heatexchange, WPIs glass-bottom dish is designed to be flush (flat) with the microscope stage or heating unit, therefore eliminating the air gap that exists with modified plastic dishes in which a glass cover slip has been inserted . Three different sizes of FluoroDish are offered, one type of 50 mm diameter dish and two types of 35 mm diameter dishes . An inner well is created within the dish by the glass bottom and the tissue culture grade polystyrene which forms the sides of the dish . All WPI dishes have the advantages of low toxicity and good UV transmission bottom glass . They are individually packed and gamma sterilized . The 35 mm dish has outside dimensions similar to that of a Corning 35 mm dish and has 23 .5 mm glass window (FD35) or 10 mm glass window (FD3510) . Most heaters and perfusion adapters designed for the Corning 35 mm dish will also fit this dish . The 23 .5 mm glass window dish is available uncoated, poly-D-lysine-coated, or collagen-coated . Certain types of cell lines

(e.g., PC3 and HEK) adhere well to the uncoated glass bottom dish . The poly-D-lysine coating has been reported to improve the adhesion of neuron cells, and type I rat tail collagen has been reported to improve the adhesion of muscle cells . The users can also apply to the uncoated dish any special coating that is best for their cell line . The 10 mm glass window dish (FD3510) has low sidewall for easy microelectrode access and low solution volume . The low microelectrode access angle is the lowest among all of 35 mm dishes on the market (very close that of a 50 mm dish) . The dish needs only 100 ~ 200 mL to cover the bottom well, an important feature when using expensive drugs and chemicals . The 50 mm dish (FD50) has a large growth area (35 mm well diameter), a low access angle for microelectrodes, and grips for easy handling .
OD ID

Conventional plastic dishes and chambers limit the utility of the inverted scope for many applications because the thick plastic bottom Access h requires a long working distance objective Angle H available only in lower magnifications . Each WPI dish has a flat (0 .17 mm thick) optical quality glass bottom, allowing the use of a much Glass shorter objective working distance, larger numerical Part number ID (mm OD (mm) Glass (mm) height (inside) Height (outside) Access Angle aperture (NA), and a FD35 33 35 .5 23 .5 7 .8 9 29 higher magnification FD3510 10 35 .5 10 1 .5 4 .65 17 (up to 100x) .

Features of the MF200


The MF200 system includes: An easy to use analog temperature controller, a specially configured WPI model W30S research grade compound microscope, 40x long-working distance objective and 10x eyepiece. 40x magnification is essential when polishing pipettes as small as half a micron (0.5 m) in diameter. Compared to a conventional 40x objective, the long working distance objective reduces the danger of damage to the pipette and/or objective lens during the polishing process. It is also the only commercial microforge using the Kohler illuminator and Abbe condenser for illumination. This provides less glare and sharper image of the pipette than frosted glass illuminator, which was used on all of the other commercial Microforge.

Microforging, Micropipette Calibration and Microinjection in a single device!


MICROFORGES, PULLERS, BEVELERS
The DMF1000 is a state-of-the-art microprocessorcontrolled microforge offering unmatched performance. Designed for fabrication of both small patch clamp glass pipettes and larger injection pipettes, the DMF1000 should find many uses in the laboratory. The DMF1000 is based on a design similar to that first used in WPIs extremely popular microforge model, the MF200. The extensive improvements incorporated into the DMF1000 greatly increase its versatility and performance, making it one of the most powerful microforges on the market.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP) technology


The DMF1000 is powered by the latest digital signal processor (DSP) technology. A digital timer is used to precisely control the polish heating time. Ten memories can be used to store settings of the heating power and heating duration. All of the settings are controlled and displayed digitally for better accuracy and reproducibility. Two different operating modes are provided: Manual and Auto. In the Manual mode, the DSP will memorize the duration of the time that is used to achieve a desired polishing.

The DMF1000 system includes a specially configured WPI model W30S research grade compound microscope equipped with a high quality metallurgic 40x long-working distance objective and a pair of 10x eyepieces. It is the most powerful long-working distance objective currently available on any commercial microforge. The long working distance objective reduces the danger of damage to the objective lens during the heating process. Other benefits of the DMF1000 design include the use of a Kohler illuminator and Abbe condenser, which provide the reduced glare and sharper image contrast necessary when polishing pipettes as small as half a micron (0.5 m) in diameter.

Filament Holder mounts directly to objective to provide precise control of heating element position.

Ease of use
the Heating Filament
With a conventional microforge often the most difficult and time-consuming part of using a high magnification objective is being able to move both the heating filament and the pipette into the same viewing area. Finding and moving both the heating filament and the pipette without collision can be a challenge. However, this difficulty is eliminated with the DMF1000 because the heating filament is directly attached to the microscopes objective. Hence it can be easily adjusted to any position within the viewing area.

Pressure Polishing
The DMF1000 incorporates a unique digital pneumatic pressure feature that enables pressurized air to be delivered through the pipette during fire polishing. In the fabrication of patch pipettes, the pressurized air can be used to blunt the taper at the pipette tip without changing the size of the tip opening. This reduces electrical resistance of the tip, leading to lower noise during patch-clamp recordings (Goodman & Lockery, 2000).

polishing temperatures without excessive heat. This permits the user to bring the pipette tip close to the filament during polishing without fear of collapsing the pipette tip. Low heat capacity eliminates the need for an auxiliary air-cooling system. The low coefficient of expansion characteristic of the filament ensures minimal displacement of the filament during heating. This feature eliminates much of the guesswork out of tip placement in relation to the filament.
Two different heating filaments are provided with the DMF1000 to accommodate various applications. The H5 filament is large gauge and can be reformed into a U for fabrication of pipettes, air forming of patch pipettes and other applications. The H4 is a smaller gauge filament and is ideal for polishing patch clamp pipettes.

The low heat capacity and low thermal coefficient of linear expansion of the filaments are key design features of the DMF1000. The low heat capacity of the filament allows it to reach fire-

the Pipette and Microscope Stage


The pipette rests on a specially designed holder that sits on top of the microscope stage. The position of the pipette, relative to the heating filament, is controlled by the (X, Y, Z) adjustment of the stage. This unique design makes locating and polishing the pipette extremely easy. The stage of the microscope has a high quality rail that gives precise, smooth and stable control of the pipettes movement. This configuration also eliminates the need and expense of an additional micromanipulator to control pipette movement.

typical applications of the DMF1000


Polishing the Patch Pipettes
It is well known that the proper fire polishing of patch pipettes is the single most important factor for forming a stable giga-seal in patch clamp recording. This is even more important than the type of glass capillary used. Difficulties often arise in forming giga-seals because the polishing of patch pipettes using a conventional low magnification microforge is inadequate. However, since the DMF1000 uses a 40X long-working distance objective, pipette polishing is much more accurately controlled. Pipettes polished using the DMF1000 achieve excellent stable giga-seals with a wide variety of cells. Both whole cell patch pipettes and single channel patch pipettes can be conveniently polished with the DMF1000 to the highest quality and reproducibility achievable with any microforge. For the single-channel patch clamp pipettes the pipette needs to be pre-coated with Sylgard 184 before polishing. For this procedure the user can follow a simple and effective coating method described previously (Li, 1999)

Microforging Holding Pipettes


A holding pipette with a large blunt tip and a small opening is used to hold a floating cell in place prior to microinjection by applying suction to the rear of the pipette. The procedure for making holding pipettes involves three steps: squaring off, large bore flame polishing, and tip reducing. These steps are accomplished with a larger heating filament.

Microforging Beveled Injection Pipettes


Occasionally, a beveled large bore pipette is not sharp enough to penetrate a cell without damaging the area around the pipette. With the DMF1000 and the large heating filament, a sharp point can be formed on the beveled tip to assist the penetration of the cell. This process is referred to as contact stretching.

Pipette tip Calibration & Microinjection


The integrated digital pneumatic pressure system can be used to calibrate the precise diameter (I.D.) of a micropipette tip, based on a technique described previously (Hagag & Randolph 1990, Bowman & Ruknudin 1999). The pressure system can also be used separately as a simple but highly accurate controller for microinjection applications.

Glass Micropipette Beveler for submicron tips

Easier cell impalement results in less damage and longer cell life
An optically-flat mirrored glass disk, wetted with an abrasive slurry, spins at 60 rpm (120 V), producing sharply beveled tips on fluid-filled glass microelectrodes of one micron or smaller. This eases cell impalement and improves the electrode's linearity. The microelectrodes resistance can be monitored during beveling with WPIs mega-Tip-Z megohm meter (see page 103). The beveler is permanently mounted on a precision magnetic plate that gives stable support for the optional 1350M Micropositioner shown. Start-up kit includes 0.05 m alumina abrasive powder #3531, wick electrode, and wick support. SYS-1300M Microelectrode Beveler & Start-Up Kit (micropositioner not included) Specify line voltage. Model 1350M Micropositioner This package (shown with beveler above) includes WPIs M3301R Manipulator and an M10 magnetic stand.

The advantage of WPIs MicroBeveler over other types of solid-surface bevelers is that the abrasive surface can be easily refreshed. Instead of using a conventional solid abrasive disk, the MicroBeveler abrasive surface is made of a high quality lapping film, widely used in the fiber optics industry. When the surface is damaged or loaded up with glass particles, the abrasive film can be easily replaced. The solid polishing surface of WPIs new MicroBeveler, turning at 6,000 rpm, provides sufficient cutting force for a very sharp tip in a very short time. The cutting surface is very flat and turns very smoothly, ensuring an undamaged tip.

Syringe Pumps
Microprocessor-controlled syringe pumps for applications requiring high metering precision at low, pulse-free rates
Sturdy and reliable, extremely simple to set up and use and surprisingly affordable. Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) prompt you through setup: 1. Select syringe from table stored in the pumps memory and displayed on the LCD. 2. Enter the volume to be dispensed. 3. Enter the flow rate, press start. Its fast and simple. Your settings are permanently stored in memory theres no need to re-enter them each day. SP pumps feature preset rate and volume control. Just set the volume you want dispensed. Volume is tracked continuously on the LCD display. Then, when the preset volume has been dispensed, the pump shuts off automatically. The easy-to-read digital display provides realtime readings using both parameters and values for clearer, mistake-free readings. The SP200 Series pumps offer TTL and RS-232C interfaces and automatic shutoff under stall conditions.

This new SPLg series of pumps show all the pertinent, real-time information on a single touch screen display. Information displayed includes flow rate, grading syringe volume, total remaining time and total volume delivered. Recognizable, international icons make it easy to use. To conserve table space, mount the SPLg pump vertically. The display automatically reorients itself for easy vertical operation. The welded, unibody, steel chassis of the SPLg pumps makes them quieter to operate. It also offers less vibration, no deformation and excellent EMI/ RFI shielding. The one-touch operation makes the SPLg pump easy to configure, and its 15-character labeling system makes saved programs quick to identify. You can easily transfer recipes between pumps for consistent configuration without reprogramming. Pumps can be connected for gradients, increased flow capacity and simultaneous multi-tests. This family of pumps includes five versions: Infuse Only (SPLG200); Infuse/Withdraw (SPLG210); Infuse/Withdraw Programmable (SPLG212); Push-Pull (SPLG270); Push-Pull Programmable (SPLG272).

When mounted vertically, the display screen of the SPLG series pumps automatically reorients for ease of use.

The worlds leading ultramicropump!


With its digital controller, UltraMicroPump III can dispense as little as 600 picoliters per incremental advance of the syringe piston (using a 5-L syringe). Syringes may be filled externally and then inserted into the pump or filled while mounted in the pump. Fluids injected or withdrawn are held entirely within the micro syringe to maintain a low fluid dead volume. For positioning, the UltraMicroPump III may be attached to any of several WPI micropositioners such as the M3301 (manual), DC3001 (motorized), or any manual stereotaxic manipulator.

Smart Controller
An Integral component in the UMPIII system is a microprocessorbased controller, SYS-Micro4, which provides an intelligent and easyto-use interface to up to four syringe pumps. Operating parameters are set with the membrane keypad and LCD display. From the keypad the user can select the following functions: set pump to infusion or withdrawal mode, enter the volume to be infused or withdrawn, rate of delivery, and syringe type as well as synchronize the starting and stopping of any combination of syringe pumps. User parameters can be stored in the devices non-volatile memory for instant recall when the unit is powered on. An optional footswitch can be plugged into a connector on the rear of the controller for hands free start-/-stop operation. Computer ControlAn RS-232 port on the rear of the controller can be used to connect it to a computer for use with computer control programs.

Pneumatic PicoPumps
Designed to simplify intracellular injection and a variety of other microinjection tasks, WPI's PicoPumps use carefully regulated air pressures for securing cells and injecting them with fluid. Injected volumes range from picoliters to nanoliters. Separate ports supply positive and negative pressurepositive pressure for high-pressure ejection, and suction for supporting the cell or for filling the pipette from the tip. A second pressure port maintains a low positive holding pressure to the injecting pipette between injection pulses, to prevent fluid uptake through capillary action or diffusion. Timing, ejection pressure, holding pressure, and suction

Repeatable microinjection in volumes ranging from picoliters to nanoliters


are adjusted independently by control knobs and indicator gauges on the front panel. Injection pressure is controlled by a 20-turn regulator on the front panel. A built-in timing circuit allows precise control of the amount of time that the injection pressure is applied to the output port. Time intervals can range from 10 seconds down to 10 ms or less, depending on the eject pressure setting. The injection pressure interval can be triggered manually on the front panel, by footswitch, or by computer controlled TTL pulse. A 5-volt monitor output provides a logic-level pulse for your computer or other monitoring device.

The most recognized picopump in the world!

PUMPS, MICROINJECTION

For a complete list of pre-pulled micropipettes, see Tips, or call us with your special requirements.
PV830 Eject pressure, Hold pressure, and Vacuum are all available, controlled by separate regulators on the front panel. Eject pressure supplies a high-pressure pulse for injecting fluid. Hold pressure, which is not sufficient to cause fluid ejection, is used to prevent back filling of the pipette by capillary action or diffusion when the solenoid is inactive. Pressure in the injection pipette is automatically switched between Eject and Hold pressure by a precision timing circuit that controls a solenoid valve. Vacuum is used to fill pipettes from the tip or to secure a floating cell during microinjection. Vacuum is regulated the same way, by a 20-turn knob on the front panel. Vacuum may be switched from regulated vacuum to atmosphere by using the pneumatic toggle on the front panel. Vacuum can also be routed to the eject port.

Manual Microsyringe Pump


The MMP and DMP are convenient tools for precise manual injection of fluid using glass pipettes or similar injection devices. The design allows visual feedback of flow at the pipette tip. They can also be used as a manual micro syringe pump for perfusion or withdrawal of liquids. The resolution of the injection volume can be continuously varied from 10 nanoliters to the microliter range, depending on the syringe used. Either oil or air can be used as the transfer media to assist the injection of fluid. The DMP comes with an exclusive digital micrometer that will allow the reading of piston advancement easily with a 0.001-millimeter resolution. The optional software and cable kit can transmit advancement data directly into computer. Model MMP has the traditional mechanical micrometer head with a resolution of 10 microns per division and advances 500 micrometers per revolution. The entire frame body of the injector is constructed with polished stainless steel for

NanoFil is a specially designed 10 microliter syringe developed in response to customer requests for improved microinjection in mice and other small animals. It makes quantitative nanoliter injection much easier and more accurate than any other method currently in use. NanoFil's low dead volume eliminates the need for oil backfilling, a messy process which risks contamination of the injected sample.Injection is now simpler, and less messy, and there is no possibility of oil contamination in critical applications such as ophthalmology research (see the Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) and Intra Ocular (IO) injection kits listed below). When the inner tip diameter of a conventional syringe is reduced to less than 100 micron, it is very difficult to backfill the solution at a reasonable speed. NanoFil solves this problem by using a tip coupling mechanism that makes it possible to change the syringe tip during the experiment. Simply load the sample using a larger tip, such as the 26 gauge needle provided

with the syringe, and then replace it with a micro tip for sample injection. On a conventional 10 microliter syringe, a solid ring or bushing is permanently bonded to the tubing. Replacing the tip in middle of the experiment is not practical. With the NanoFil, tips can be exchanged by a simple twist of the brass lock, gently pulling out the tip, and replacing with the desired new tip. To secure the tip, NanoFil uses an olive shaped silicon gasket that is similar to, but much sturdier than, some of the microelectrode holders used for electro physiology recording. The silicone gasket makes it possible to hold not only metal tips but also glass and quartz tubing. Many types of tubing can be easily connected to the

syringe as long as the outer diameter (OD) is close to, but not more than, the inner diameter (ID) of the inside barrel. Flexible quartz capillaries used in gas Chromotography (gC) and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) can also be easily coupled to the syringe. Specially designed tips as small as 36 gauge (110 micron OD) are offered in both blunt and beveled styles. Our studies have shown that these tips will cause less trauma to the tissue than any other form of micro syringe currently in use. NanoFil has a unique coupling mechanism that allows many different forms of small tubing and tips to be coupled with the syringe barrel.

NANOFIL NanoFil Syringe, 10 microliter NANOFIL-100 NanoFil Syringe, 100 microliter NanoFil syringe does not contain any injection tips, those must be purchased separately. It does include a 26 gauge beveled needle for backfilling. REPLACEMENT BACKFILL NEEDLES NF26BV-2 26g Beveled Needle (package of 2)

Using NanoFil in different configurations


Direct injection by hand: This is the simplest and most economical way to inject. Any of our tips can be inserted directly into the NanoFil syringe. Even the SilFlex tubing can be inserted to switch from hand injection to the other methods listed below. The limitation of this method is the difficulty achieving sub microliter resolution. Installed on WPIs UMP-III microsyringe pump: This will allow the user to achieve nanoliter resolution and reproducibility. For neural system injection, mount the UMPII on a stereotaxic frame. SilFlex tubing and holder: The needle is mounted on a small plastic holder that is connected to the NanoFil by a 35 cm length of flexible tubing. The NanoFil is mounted on the UMP II pump. This configuration allows the user to hold the animal in one hand and insert the needle with the other. When the needle reaches the desired location, activate the pump using the footswitch and the pre-programmed injection volume will be delivered. This configuration gives a nanoliter level of accuracy and reproducibility. It is best suited for applications such as the RPE and IO injection.

Selecting the correct tip for your application


The replaceable needles used with the NanoFil are available with either blunt or beveled tips. The blunt tip is used for injection into soft tissue and when a uniform solution distribution is needed. The beveled style is used for applications that involve the penetration of a tough tissue. One of the main factors that limit the resolution and accuracy of conventional micro syringes to the upper tens of nanoliters range is diffusion in the large tip ID. When the tip ID is equal or larger than 100 micron, the error caused by tip diffusion is in the nanoliter range level ((100 micron)^3 = 1 nanoliter). With a 36 gauge needle installed on the NanoFil, the error caused by diffusion will be reduced to the sub nanoliter level, making accurate injection of a nanoliter possible. All of WPIs beveled tips have a unique 25 degree tri-surface bevel that is optimized for microinjection. A 10 degree single-surface beveled tip penetrates better than one with a 25 degree angle, however the distance between the upper opening to the tip (see section F in Fig. 2) is longer. As a result, it requires a deeper penetration of the tip to achieve the same level of liquid delivery. Deeper penetration means more tissue damage. WPIs unique 25 degree beveled tip solves this problem with two extra beveled surfaces. The tip of a single surface beveled tip is actually a blade instead of a point. It dulls very quickly. In contrast, the tri-surfaced tip has a real point. It not only penetrates much better but is also much more durable. Our tests show that our 33 gauge, 25 degree beveled tip

Available Tips
33 gauge: This tip is similar to Hamiltons 7762 and 7803 series removable needles in both tip length and outer diameter. However, our beveled tip version is shorter, more durable, and penetrates better due to the special trisurface grinding technique. In the past, 33 gauge tips were the smallest size sold by other manufacturers and were frequently cited in literature. However, our new 35 gauge tip is much better for injections involving small animals, especially mice. Compared with Hamilton 33 gauge, 10 degree beveled tip, our 35 gauge 25 degree beveled tip can reduce the depth of penetration by almost 80%. The distance between the tip and the upper rim of the opening (section F on Figure 2) is 1024 microns for the 33 gauge tip. The distance for our 35 gauge tip is only 230 microns. In addition, the smaller tip size significantly reduces the required penetration force. In nearly all applications, a 33 gauge tip can be replaced with our 35 gauge tip and produce better results. 34 gauge: This is a transitional size between the 33 gauge and 35 gauge. If the 35 gauge is too weak and the 33 gauge is too large, this makes a good alternative. 35 gauge: This was the most popular and preferred tip of most scientists during our field trial. The combination of its strength, length, durability, and clogging resistance creates a balance with very little compromising of the individual properties. It is much smaller than the 33 gauge tip offered by other manufacturers. It is only slightly larger than the 36 gauge tip but is much stronger and less likely to be clogged. Samples can be directly loaded with this tip. Its 5 mm length is sufficient enough for almost all injection applications in mice. 36 gauge: This is the smallest tip that is commercially available. The tip is so small that it can be inserted into the opening of the 33 gauge needle tip. Because this is pushing the limits of what current technology can produce, there are some limitations to consider before

using. Its thin diameter makes it necessary to limit its length to 2.5 to 3.0 mm and still maintain a usable strength. Since the tip ID is in the 25 to 50 micron range, it is very easily clogged. Therefore, only well filtered solutions can be used. Depending on the viscosity of the sample, the user might also need to pre-load the syringe with a regular tip before switching to this tip for injection. We recommend using the 35 gauge tip instead of the 36 gauge unless it is absolutely necessary. Flexifil: The Flexifil tip is made of a titanium alloy. The advantage of this tubing is its durability. This semi-flexible tip can be bent up to 90 degrees without damage. It is also much more corrosion resistant than the stainless steel

tip. Saline solutions left in the tip will be less likely to clog it. Although this tip is specified as a 33 gauge tip, its outer diameter is slightly smaller than our 33 gauge stainless steel tip. Flexible Quartz Tubing : The flexible quartz tubing tip is made of 160 micron OD polyimide coated quartz tubing with a special adapter sleeve mounted at the end. It is designed for filling glass capillary electrodes or pipettes, just like WPIs traditional MF34g Microfil. However, unlike the traditional MicroFil, which has about 50 microliters of dead volume in its luer hub, the dead volume of this tip is less than 0.6 microliters. It is useful for loading electrodes with solutions that have a limited volume or are too expensive to waste.

NanoFil Application Kits


These kits are specially designed for eye research for injecting retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and intraocular (IO) in addition to brain injection in mice. They need to be used with a NanoFil syringe and UMP2 to achieve accurate, repetitive, and oil free injection in the submicroliter range. Each kit includes two pieces of Silflex tubing (one for a spare), a holder assembly, spare gaskets, and an assortment of four tips - blunt for the RPE kit and beveled tips for the IO kit. Each kit comes with one each of 33, 34, 35 and 36 gauge tips so that first time users can find the best size for their application. The Silflex tubing is the most critical component of the kit. This 35 cm long, flexible tubing has a very precise outer diameter for airtight fitting with the syringe. It also has a small inner diameter for minimum dead volume, and is very durable when handled correctly. The SilFlex is coupled to the injection tip with a mechanism similar to that of the NanoFil. The dead volume of the entire kit (including the tubing) is less than 3microliters. All of the components in the kit are constructed of inert, solvent resistant, and autoclaveable materials for easy cleaning after viral injection.

MPS-2 is a programmable 8-channel perfusion system designed for single channel and whole-cell patch preparations. Offering the best combination of performance and value, the MPS-2 incorporates the same high quality solenoid valves found on similar but much more expensive systems. Unlike other perfusion systems on the market, which often compromise performance to fit every possible application, the MPS-2 is the only perfusion system designed and optimized specifically for single-channel and whole-cell patch perfusion applications. The system can be controlled manually via membrane switches on the front panel or through a PC. Two different manual control modes are offered. One controls each channel independently and the other mode allows the user to assign a master channel that will keep the system flow when all other channels are switched off. User-friendly graphic timing software is included, and the programmed perfusion sequence can be started by computer, a patch clamp amplifier or other external trigger, or manually by the user The perfusion fluid flows through specially designed color-coded polyurethane ribbon style tubing. The color-coding allows the user to easily trace each channel for diagnostic checks or set up and the ribbon style of tubing keeps the system very neat and organized. Unlike PVC based tubing, polyurethane tubing contains no plasticizer, which can cause contamination. The tubing ribbon is designed as an economical disposable item, which is often critical when cleanness is needed.

The most unique feature of the MPS-2 is its perfusion micromanifold. Using the latest microfluidic techniques, the injection molded micromanifold provides the least flow resistance and dead volume of any product on the market. The flow channel inner diameter is approximately 1.0 mm, except for the last 5 mm before the junction point.

Many biochemistry applications require information at specific, important wavelengths, instead of a full spectrum analysis . For example, the Bradford, BCA and Lowry assays for protein analysis rely on specific wavelengths . LEDspec is ideally suited for oceanographic applications such as detecting nM concentrations of nitrite/nitrate, phosphate and iron using WPIs LWCC sample cells . Two or four independent channel FIA detection systems can be assembled using a LEDspec-2 or LEDspec-4, respectively . LEDspec and LEDspecUV are stand-alone LED-based biophotometric detection systems designed to give you the information you want to see . Now you can conduct flow analysis and single-scan applications with high precision and a large dynamic range . LEDspec can be equipped with up to 7 LEDs of different wavelengths . Its noise (< 0 .1 mAU peak to peak) and drift performance (<0 .5 mAU/h) exceeds that of a CCD or photodiode array detection system at a fraction of the cost . LEDspec uses dualbeams to reduce light source drift . Conventional single beam spectrometers notice baseline drift caused by warm up, temperature stability and bulb aging . A reference channel in the LEDspec corrects for baseline while you make sample measurements .

Optical Detection Systems

UltraPath
A unique multiple long pathlength sample cell for absorbance spectroscopy

l Process Control & Oceanography l Rugged system for laboratory and onboard measuring l Portable & easy to use l User-selected optical path lengths: 2, 10, 50 & 200 cm l Highly sensitive and stable

SPECTROSCOPY

UltraPath is a unique high-performance spectrophotometer system offering user-selectable optical path lengths of 2, 10, 50 and 200 cm . The instrument operates in the wavelength range of 250 to 730 (UPUV) or 380 to 730 nm (UPVIS) and has an exceptional dynamic range . Designed for the detection of low absorbing species in aqueous solutions, UltraPath is an ideal tool for any study requiring precise and highly sensitive spectroscopic determination of analytes, either in the lab or in the field .

Background
UltraPath was developed by WPI under a collaborative agreement with NASA (Stennis Space Center) for the spectroscopic determination of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in seawater and fresh water environments . It can be used in the laboratory and in the field (i.e., at sea) . CDOM concentrations vary significantly between open ocean samples with low CDOM (e.g., 0 .007 m-1 at 380 nm), and high CDOM freshwater environments (e.g., 10-20 m-1 at 380 nm) . To address these problems the design requirements of UltraPath mandated the development of a rugged portable system capable of high sensitivity measurements across a wide dynamic range . The UltraPath system meets these stringent design criteria and enables reliable measurement of CDOM in the range of 0 .002 m-1 to 200 m-1 (250 to 730 nm) .

substances to the cell wall . In particular, the design greatly minimizes the problems commonly found with flow cells of long optical pathlengths: the risk of trapping dust particles, fibers or particulate matter inside the cell . The UltraPath system includes a low noise photodiode array-based spectrometer module (TIDAS I: FWHM = 5 nm, noise <0 .2 mAU) and a light source (D2H with UPUV; FO6000 with UPVIS) to measure sample absorption . Light is coupled from the light source to the sample cell and from the sample cell to the detector via two fused silica fibers . A peristaltic pump (PeriStar Pro) is utilized to draw the sample into the UltraPath sample cell .

Design
UltraPath has four optical pathlengths contained within a single sample cell (i.e., 2 cm, 10 cm, 50 cm and 200 cm) . The pathlengths are userselectable, offering a very high sensitivity and an extended dynamic range for UV and VIS absorbance measurements . The fluid path of the sample cell is optimized to produce a laminar flow that is virtually free of interference from trapped air bubbles and adherence of dissolved

Samples
Two typical absorption spectra recorded with an UltraPath (UPUV) of a seawater and a fresh water sample collected in November 2007 are shown in Fig . 1 . Due to their high absorbance, both samples were analyzed in the 10 cm pathlength . The CDOM sample labeled Mayagez Bay in Fig . 2 is from oligotrophic, low productive waters with high salinity collected off the west coast of Puerto Rico in the Mayagez Bay . Special attention should be drawn to the exceptional sensitivity of UltraPath enabling detection of CDOM absorption below 0 .03 m-1 . To exemplify the performance of the UltraPath in Laboratory Chemistry and Process Control, Ponceau S absorbance was measured with the 200 cm pathlength of an UltraPath . Normalizing the Ponceau absorbance graph to AU/cm, the range of this measurement is 150 AU with a noise level below 2 AU peak to peak . Sub-nanomolar concentration of this dye can clearly and reliably be detected, which is a novelty in absorbance based spectroscopy .

WPIs Liquid Waveguide Capillary Cells are made of fused silica tubing with an outer coating of a low refractive index polymer . This results in high signal stability and easy removal of air bubbles trapped in the sensor cell due to the hydrophilic character of the cell wall .

LWCC Injection System


For flow analysis, including simple fluid injection analysis (FIA) setups, add WPIs LWCC injection system (WPI #89372) . A selection valve provides baseline or cleaning solutions to the sample stream . The injection valve injects a sample into the stream, avoiding the introduction of air bubbles or changes of flow rate .

ACCESSORIES
A sample injector assembly can be used to conveniently fill an LWCC with sample solution using a peristaltic pump . Please note that the LWCC requires two optical fibers to connect to spectrophotometer system . Choose between anti-solarized 400 micron core or UV-enhanced cables (may be ordered in 1 or 3 meter lengths) .

Filter Holder for Glass Fiber Filters

QFT2

Simple measurements for particulate absorption


WPIs filter holder for particulate absorption measurements is specially designed for field use . It is rugged and portable . It performs as well as a laboratory based spectrophotometer . It can be directly connected to WPIs line of fiber optic spectrometers and light sources . Instead of collecting your samples, transporting them to a laboratory, and accepting the loss of spectral information associated with it (Sosik, 1999), particulate absorption can now be measured on site . QFT1, an optical holder for glass fiber filters, allows you to measure absorbance of particulate matter concentrated on a glass fiber filter pad . The QFT2 is a QFT1 with an integrated 1cm cuvette holder, which allows for on-site liquid sample measurements, as well .

QFT1

Advantages of QFT1
WPIs filter holder for glass fiber filters is designed for fiber optic use . It is rugged and portable and can be used in the field .

380730 nm and 280730 nm wavelength range, respectively . Further, the QFT1 can be interfaced with WPIs SpectraUSB4 CCD spectrometer line . The QFT1 can also be interfaced to any other CCD, PDA or scanning type spectrometer with fiber optic capabilities .

How does it work ?


Particulate absorption of fresh and seawater can be determined by filtering a known amount of sample through a Glass Fiber Filter (GF/F) and measuring the particulate absorption coefficient ap() concentrated on the filter . This technique is called quantitative filter technique (QFT) and corrects for the pathlength amplification, an effect of scattering . The correction of the pathlength amplification and the correction of the non-linear relationship between the optical density of samples on a Whatman GF/F filter and in suspension are discussed in Mitchell (1990) .

Performance
To test the performance of the QFT1, seawater samples were collected locally and filtered through a GF/F filter pad . The particulate absorption was measured with the QFT1 and for comparison with a Lambda 35 UV/VIS spectrometer equipped with a RSA-PE-20 integrating sphere attachment . The measured particulate absorbance spectra overlay well for a number of samples . A significant advantage of the filter holder is its large beam diameter of 5 mm, resulting in averaging out of larger non-organic particles frequently found on the filter pad when using natural samples . The removable filter fixture allows simple filter alternation and cleaning .

Accessories Fiber Optic Adapter Fiber Optic Collimator


For UV1000 and UV2000 Thermo Electron HPLC Detectors

WPIs Fiber Optic Collimator can be used for both collimating a light beam emitted by an optical fiber or coupling light from a collimated light beam into an optical fiber . The numerical aperture of the collimator is optimized for maximum coupling efficiency into typical fused silica fibers . The collimator can, for example, be used to guide a parallel light beam through a sample cuvette or an optical filter with virtually no optical losses . In this application, one collimator collimates the light into a parallel beam 5 mm in diameter, enabling it to pass a long distance without losing the energy . After the light passes the sample media, a second collimator can be used to collect the beam into the receiving fiber . A unique design feature of this collimator is that the distance between the lens and the optical fiber can be easily adjusted . This permits it to be used as a focusing device or for fine-tuning the color balance when coupling light from a light source into a fiber .

COLLIMATOR SPECIFICATIOnS
This fiber optic adapter is designed for Thermo Electrons UV1000/UV2000 series of HPLC detectors . It allows for an efficient connection of WPIs fiber optic sampling equipment via two SMA-905 connectors . Instead of using the standard 1 cm flow cell, WPIs line of liquid waveguide capillary cells with pathlengths from 2 cm to 500 cm can be attached . This is a cost-effective way to equip existing UV1000 or UV2000 detectors in the lab with fiber optic sampling cells . For example, using a LWCC-2200 with a 200 cm optical pathlength, the sensitivity of the detection system is increased 200fold, enabling very sensitive flow injection analysis setups . A baseline noise performance of approximately 1-2 mAU is achievable with such a setup .

UV-enhanced fiber optic cables


of such a fiber, defined by the 1/e reduction in transmission at 240 nm, is normally less than 200 minutes . This effect renders them unsuitable for UV spectroscopy below 240 nm . Anti-solarization fibers suitable for deep UV spectroscopy solve this problem . These fibers stabilize to less than 5% degradation over a period of 20,000 hours after an initial transmission burn-in loss of less than 25% . Additionally, this anti-solarization characteristic will not degrade over time .
