P2252 EasyMount Slider with 5 x 22mm Aperture for Mounting Large Intestinal Tissue

The P2252 EasyMount Slider has an oblong 4.8 x 22 mm aperture and is designed for mounting intestinal tissues with a surface area of no less than 1 cm² and for use with EasyMount P2250 Chambers.  The P2252 EasyMount Slider is composed of a top clear and bottom white segment. Tissues are mounted by pressing the tissue over short, curved pins lining a matching aperture on the slider. The slider aperture has a surrounding recess to minimize edge-effect caused by light compression from mounting. The large surface area is useful when performing ion flux or drug permeability studies. The large surface area also maximizes detecting endogenous peptide secretion from the lumen or from the basolateral side.

Advantages of the P2252:

1. The large surface area works with a variety of tissue specimens - rat intestine is the optimal tissue for this slider

2. Aperture recess area minimizes tissue edge-effect

3. Tissue pins aid in mounting and stretching the specimen

4. Two alignment pins provide fast and accurate closure of the two piece slider
