WPI's
DVC-1000 is well-known and widely used for studying
epithelial tissues. |

Each
DVC-1000 consists of two separate clamp instruments -- One
for clamping a control tissue, another for clamping a test
tissue. This dual clamp technique lets you monitor changes
in membrane permeability as a function of voltage or
applied chemical agents.
Either
clamp unit operates in five modes. Voltage clamp: Clamps
the tissue voltage to a given level and displays the
current required to maintain that level. Amplify: Shows
the potential difference between the two voltage
electrodes. Current clamp: Lets you deliver a constant
current between the two current electrodes while
simultaneously monitoring voltage changes at the tissue
Timer:
Functions in either current clamp or voltage clamp
experiments, letting you cycle automatically between zero
clamp and a preset clamp level. Remote: Allows you to
control clamp operation from a computer or other logic
level source.
Small
preamplifiers (included) which mount close to the chamber
let you connect to voltage and current electrodes without
long cables or agar bridges. DVC-1000 also features a
unique ±100 V power supply capable of delivering up to 1
mA of clamp current. Each clamp lets you correct for input
offset voltages and fluid resistance error.
