Transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement is one of the most used practices to evaluate cellular health, such as cellular confluence, barrier integrity, or barrier function of cellular monolayers grown onto multiwells. The TEER measurement using WPI’s Epithelial Voltohmmeter (EVOM) is considered the gold standard because of its reliable measurements and numerous literature citations using various cell types. The EVOM™ Manual and EVOM™ Auto along with different choices of electrodes (STX4, STX HTS high throughput screening, EndOhm chambers, and multielectrode array for EVOM™ Auto) allow researchers to perform and analyze cell samples in 6, 12, and 24 removable inserts and 24 and 96 HTS multiwell plate formats. The major challenges researchers may encounter while performing studies to capture TEER measurement include:
· Unstable read outs
· Out of range values
· Inconsistent measurements...more
