Bilayer Slide

General aspects of Ionovation Bilayer Slides

  • Designed for automated bilayer production and validation with the Ionovation Bilayer Explorer
  • Bilayer within the working distance of a high numerical aperture objective (100µm)
  • Low sample volumes (100µl)
  • Integrated micro-channels providing fast fluid exchange of cis and trans compartments
  • Bilayer apertures available from 10 - 400µm
  • Highest optical grade glass bottom; clear borosilicate
  • Suitable for all objective lenses and magnifications; air, water, and oil immersion
  • No autofluorescence
  • Biocompatible and chemically robust composite slide material

 

Direct microscopy access

No parts to be removed or assembled for observation

Fast fluid exchange with integrated micro-channels

5 extra-wells for calibration or test purposes

To be used with standard pipettes and equipment

3D Laser Scanning Micrograph of an automatically painted bilayer

Bilayer apertures produced by laser drilling or plasma-arc-welding can be precisely adjusted from a few to several hundrets of microns

Biocompatible and chemically resistant support materials

Free access to both sides of the bilayer membrane
