The Warner QE-1 Quick Exchange Platform is a versatile base for the RC-40 Series chambers, as well as many popular 35 mm glass bottom dishes. The platform is at home on both upright and inverted microscopes and includes resistive heating elements. The base has a 25 mm diameter aperture. Magnetic stainless steel along the perimeter of the QE-1 permits the use of Warner’s MC-1 Magnetic Clamp Kit, which includes a variety of holding tools.
Removable perfusion and suction tubes allow perfusion in any of the RC-40 Imaging Chambers or 35 mm dishes. Suction and perfusion tubes also feature set-screw locks for the horizontal location, and adjustable presets on the vertical for setting the bath height. These adjustments permit easy and exact positioning and repositioning of the suction and perfusion tubes. A redesigned suction tube eliminates tidal action and fluid flutter, making aspiration very quiet.
Resistive heating of the QE-1 is provided by means of our TC-324B/TC-344B Temperature Controllers and a CC-28 Cable. Heating of perfusate is achieved using our SH-27B or SF-28 In-Line Solution Heaters.
Adapter rings for Corning, Falcon and Willco 35 mm dishes are supplied to ensure a close fit in the QE-1.
Stage adapters are available for all major microscopes. Custom or modified stage adapters are also available; call our Technical Support Department for details.
