The RC-50 is a low profile, horizontally mounted Ussing chamber incorporating special features for using confocal imaging. The chamber can be configured as a closed perfusion system using either gravity or pump feed. The apical (upper) surface of the chamber can be used in an open or closed configuration. The basolateral chamber has been designed to facilitate placement and stretching of hard to handle tissue such as trachea. Suture pins are provided to act as anchor points for suture lines.

A #1 glass coverslip forms both the top and bottom of the chamber, allowing it to be used with both inverted and upright microscopes. While the chamber bottom is beveled to permit maximum access to the bottom coverslip, the chamber body can also be inverted to allow access to the other side. The viewing aperture in the chamber basolateral section is 17.7 mm in diameter and the viewing aperture in the chamber apical section is 22.8 mm.
The RC-50 includes a pair of resistive heater elements mounted to the chamber base. Heater elements are compatible with Warner
TC-324B and TC-344B Heater Controllers.
