Electrode Adapter

 (WPI#

) converts into four independent 2 mm jack. It allows 

the user to utilize the 

EVOM

3 meter with another four-electrode system.

STX2-PLUS 

is the standard electrode for use with the 

EVOM3 

and is designed to 

facilitate measurements of membrane voltage and resistance (TEER) of cultured 

epithelia directly in tissue culture wells. The electrode incorporates a fixed pair of 

probes, 5 mm tall, 3 mm wide and 1 mm in thickness. Each probe has an inner (voltage) 

and an outer (current) electrode. 

STX3 

is an alternative electrode to the 

STX2 

that can be used with the 

EVOM3

 for 

shallow inserts (5–9 mm).

 

It differs from the 

STX2 

in that the vertical distance between 

the probes of the 

STX3 

can be adjusted for up to an additional 10 mm of separation.

STX100C96 

and 

STX100M 

are optional 96-well electrodes for use with the 

EVOM3

These electrodes have a smaller form factor specifically designed for high throughput 

screening (HTS) plates with higher well counts. The shape of the 

STX100

 electrode is 

keyed to the access ports of the well plate. This results in consistent spatial positioning 

leading to superior reproducibility from well to well.
