Strathkelvin - Model MT200/MT200A - Respirometer Cell - Manual

The Mitocell (MT200) is designed for the measurement of the respiration rate of either 50 or 100µl sample volumes of mitochondria and cell suspensions. The larger Mitocell (MT200A) is designed for volumes of 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0ml sample volumes. The glass top with a central channel forms the water jacket. It is secured on to the grey base unit with a black plastic clamp ring. When the polycarbonate plunger is inserted into the central channel of the glass top and the electrode is inserted in the bottom of the base unit the small respiration chamber is formed. The plunger has a central capillary, through which substrates or inhibitors may be injected during a respirometry run. The grey base unit contains the built in magnetic stirrer which rotates the spinbar in the respiration chamber.
