General description

The Millicell® ERS-2 (Electrical Resistance System) reliably measures membrane potential and resistance of epithelial cells in culture. This device qualitatively measures cell monolayer health and quantitatively measures cell confluence. A silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) pellet on each electrode tip measures voltage. Due to the small size of the electrodes, you can easily measure transepithelial voltage and the resistance of cells grown on microporous membranes. Accessories include a replacement (fixed) electrode set, adjustable electrode set and a specialized electrode set for use with Millicell-96 cell culture insert plates.

Features & Benefits:
- Portable instrument that fits into laminar flow hoods
- Measurements do not compromise sterility or damage cells on the membrane
- Widely cited and recommended in epithelial cell culture protocols

Applications:
Measurement of Transepithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER), Cell Monolayer Health Assessment, Quantitative Measurement of Confluence

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. Is the Millicell Voltmeter equipment calibratable?

    1 answer

    1. The Millicell ERS 2.0 is obsolete. The ERS 3.0 is calibratable. Users can perform various performance verification tests and seek assistance from Technical Service for calibration if it is out of range.

  2. Can the power cord for the Millicell ERS-2 Voltohmmeter be purchased separately?

    1 answer

    1. Power cord for the Millicell ERS-2 Voltohmmeter is not available seperately through our channels, but they can be obtained from World Precision Instruments using the product code 800496.
