SDx-T10 tethaPlate, pack of 10
The tethaPlate™ is a 6-chamber sample holder for tethered membrane preparations. It is used in conjunction with a tethaPod or tethaPatch system for the determination of membrane conduction and studies of protein ion channels.
The working electrodes are pre-coated with tethering agent and the plate is ready for the addition of phospholipids for membrane creation. The tether/spacer ratio is normally set at 1:10. Other ratios can be supllied on special order.
The tethaPlate is delivered in two sections which are assembled with the aid of an Assembly Jig. See how to assemble a tethaPlate and make a tethered membrane in the Photos & Videos tab.
