*US Patent 7,245,368 Open Top Round (Model VC-OTR-12, VC-OTR-18, VC-OTR-25)
The Open Top Round series of incubation chamber chambers form a small round chamber using a coverslip or other flat surface. As with other models of chambers, the OTR series of chambers attach to a flat surface using the force supplied by a vacuum. Chambers in the OTR series are available in three diameters for three sizes of coverslips, including 12, 18 and 25 mm.
The VC-OTR-25 chamber body has a diameter of 1.12 inches and is 0.220 inches (5.6 mm) tall. The diameter of the open area in the center of the chamber is 0.688 inches (17.5 mm). The coverslip is held to the chamber body by a vacuum. You can use a vacuum system provided by C&L Instruments or an ordinary laboratory vacuum.
Dual o-rings isolate the vacuum from the area of the coverslip under study and securely hold the coverslip in place. The adhered coverslip adhered to the Vacu-Cell forms a small circular chamber just above the coverslip. The vacuum port is a hose barb connector for 1/16 inch ID tubing. The image to the left shows a 12 mm round coverslip attached to a VC-OTR-12 chamber. The detailed specifications of these three chambers are shown in the table below.
The image below shows a VC-OTR-12 chamber attached to a standard 1 x 3 inch microscope slide. These small chambers are very versatile. They also work well with Petri dishes and microtite plates.
Chamber Specifications Chambers in the OTR series are available in three diameters for three sizes of coverslips, including 12, 18 and 25 mm.

We also offer a Vacuum Pump system
for use with these perfusion chambers. The pump draws a vacuum of
approximately -20 inches Hg and it fitted with a Luer-lock port for easy
connectivity to standard tubing systems. The Model VCS-1 vacuum pump
assembly is approximately 8.4 (width) x 8.0 (depth) x 5.8 (height) inches in
size. These perfusion chambers also work well with other standard
laboratory vacuum supplies.
