Double Salt Bridge Configuration for Electric Field Studies

A specialized BRICK micro variant is available for studies focusing on the effect of electric fields on cell cultures, while minimizing the direct influence of electrochemical reaction byproducts.

This configuration comprises eight parallel electrochemical cells, each composed of three interconnected wells:

  • The central well is used for cell cultivation
  • It is connected via hydrogel-based salt bridges to two adjacent side wells
  • Ag/AgCl electrodes are inserted into the side wells using a compatible lid system
