The SliceMate
Introduction
The SliceMate provides temperature-controlled perfusion fluid to slice preparations
required during analysis of electrophysiological properties. Originally developed as
a modular sub-system for use with our unique SliceMaster – multi-channel
recording system, the SliceMate is a novel design integrating what would normally
be several separate sub-systems into a single line replaceable unit providing a
robust, space efficient system.
SliceMate Design
The SliceMate housing integrates the tissue bath, heat exchanger / Peltier device
and fluidic control valve within a dedicated Acetyl enclosure. The compact and
precision design ensures system variables are minimised and that all SliceMates are
identical in structure.
Tissue Bath
The brain bath has been developed to include features that simplify the
equipment table requirements; vacuum suction ports, integrated reference
electrode, thermistor temperature sensor and connectorized interface. The brain
bath puck is replaceable as a modular component. The thermistor temperature
sensors are precision devices which only require basic re-calibration if the brain
bath or thermistor should require replacement.
