Series 20 Chambers from Warner Instruments are a family of models covering many different applications. The modular design has two parts: the polycarbonate chamber (insert) and aluminium holder (platform). Heated platforms are available. The chamber may be quickly and easily removed from the platform for exchange of the coverslip, which forms the base of the chamber. Coverslips are attached using silicone stopcock or vacuum grease. Cells are viewed commonly viewed with an inverted microscope through the single thickness #1 coverslip. Chambers may easily be perfused, and in many cases the chamber is diamond shape, promoting linear flow of the perfusate. A separate suction chamber permits quiet removal of perfusate with vacuum or a pump. For all sorts of perfusion accessories, please see our next page. Not all chambers are illustrated here - please ask us for a complete catalog. |

The Platform acts as a base for the chamber and provides clamping for the seal between chamber and coverslip. The correct model must chosen to match the chamber. Most models have sliding clamps permitting quick removal of the chamber. Heated Platforms, containing resistive heaters, as also available. Please see the next page for appropriate temperature controllers. For most microscopes, a stage adaptor is also required. These are available for most models of Leica, Nikon, Olympus & Zeiss microscopes. Adaptors are machined from plastic (for thermal insulation from the stage), and the Platform is held down with two button clamps. |
