Description TEER Measurement
The EVOM was the first instrument designed specifically to perform routine TEER (Trans Epithelial Electric Resistance) measurement in tissue culture research. The battery-powered EVOM produces an AC current that avoids adverse effects on tissues, which can otherwise be caused, by a DC current - including electrode metal deposits. The EVOM has an easy-to-read LC display and is also available with a BNC recorder output (EVOMX). Input impedance of the EVOM is greater than 1010 ohm, and resistance ranges from 0 to 1999 ohm; and 0 to 20,000 ohm can be monitored using the switchable range setting located on the instrument front panel.

Chopstick electrode set
One unique feature of the EVOM is that resistance readings are unaffected by membrane capacitance and membrane voltage. The membrane voltage reading range is ±200?mV. EVOM comes complete with the popular STX2 “Chopstick” electrode set. The STX2 consists of a fixed pair of double electrodes, 4 mm wide and 1 mm thick. Each stick of the electrode pair contains a silver/silver-chloride pellet for measuring voltage and a silver electrode for passing current. The small size of each electrode is designed to facilitate placement of the electrodes into cell culture wells. STX2 can be used with all tissue culture inserts currently on the market. For more accurate quantitative measurements and/or for lower resistance measurements (e.g., endothelial tissue cultures) the EVOM can be used in conjunction with the optional Endohm chambers.
