The Brain Slice Keeper AM has been designed with an integral heater and sensor element for preincubation of brain slices prior to transfer into recording chambers. In addition there is provision of inlet and outlet tubes to an external chamber incorporating multi-electrode arrays.

The BSC1 chamber design is similar to the original “Oslo chamber” (Langmoen & Andersen 1981) with later modifications (Dhanjal & Sears 1980, Alger et al 1984) to allow both interface and submerged methods of slice maintenance (Williams et al, 1993, Murphy et al, 1997, Bliss at al 2003). The temperature is controlled by a proportional control heating unit, the PTC03.
