在自制伏特计可用于日常操作之前，必须检查设备是否正常工作。在我们的例子中，40 ms（12.5 Hz）的半时振荡被编程，但有效振荡时间的结果是60 ms （16.7 Hz）。微控制器时间发射器的这种不准确对TEER测量没有可检测的影响。最好使用万用表之一的频率设置来确定实际频率。如果发现任何偏差，可以相应地调整源代码。此外，强烈建议检查测试电阻器或其他定义的设置是否提供正确且可重现的结?...

上皮细胞和内皮细胞作为细胞边界发挥作用，分离身体的表皮和巴索侧。如果它们通过紧密的交汇点连接，则通过副细胞空间的被动物质扩散受到限制1，从而形成选择性渗透屏障。几个人工屏障系统已经开发了2使用微血管内皮细胞（HBMEC，血脑屏障3，4，5，6，7），乔体丛上皮细胞（HIBCPP/PCPEC，血脑脊液屏障8，9，10，11，12，13，14），结肠直肠腺癌细胞（Caco-2，胃肠道模型15），或气道/肺泡细胞系（肺模型16，17）。这些系统通常由在可渗透膜上的单层生长的细胞组成（即过滤器插入系统），以便进入锥形和双侧侧。模型系统的完整性与体内条件相匹配非常重要。因此，通过测量示踪化合物在细胞层中的准细胞扩散来分析阻物功能。这些物质包括放射性标记蔗糖，染料标记的白蛋白，FITC标记的inulin，或染料标记的德克斯特兰2。然而，化学染料会使细胞无法用于进一步的实验。为了非侵入性地监测屏障系统，可以使用2、18、19测量跨皮层/跨体电阻（TEER）。由于双极电极系统受电极-电解质接口处电极极化阻抗的影响，通常使用四极测量来克服这一限制20。底铺设技术是一个四端传感（4T），最早由威廉汤姆森（主开尔文）21在1861年描述。简而言之，电流由一对载流电极注入，而第二对电压感应电极用于测量电压降20。如今，所谓的筷子电极由一对双电极组成，每个电极都含有用于测量电压的银/氯化银颗粒和用于通过电流2的银电极。电阻抗测量在锥形和双侧隔间之间，细胞层介于两者之间（图1）。在外部电极上应用频率为 12.5 Hz 的方波信号，并测量由此产生的交流电 （AC）。此外，通过第二个（内部）电极对测量整个细胞层的电位下降。然后根据欧姆定律计算电阻抗。TEER 值通过乘以阻抗和细胞层表面积进行归化，通常表示为±+ cm2。
在有些系统中，电池和电极的排列方式更为复杂，但也基于 4T 测量原理，可与相同的测量设备一起使用。例如，插入过滤器的 EndOhm 系统包含一个腔室和盖，其同心电极与筷子电极的结构相同。电极的形状允许更均匀的电流密度流过膜，从而减少读数之间的变化。更复杂的（但也更准确）是一个Using室，其中一个细胞层分隔两个腔室充满了Ringer的溶液22。腔室本身可以用氧气、CO2或N2气体，并搅拌或补充实验物质。当发生穿过细胞层的电离传输时，可以通过组织附近的两个电压感应电极来测量电位差。此电压由放置在电池层旁边的两个带电电极消除。测量电流然后给出净电位传输和透皮电阻，这反映了屏障的完整性，可以确定22。TEER测量也可以应用于代表屏障组织模型23、24的片上体系统。这些系统模仿细胞的体内条件，通常由几种类型的细胞组成，它们相互堆叠在一层之上。
以下协议说明了如何设置具有可编程输出频率的具有经济高效且可靠的伏特表，与市售的测量系统相比，TEER 在 TEER 中不会产生统计显著性差异。

a simple approach to perform teer measurements using a self-made volt-amperemeter with programmable output frequency

自 20 世纪 80 年代以来，一直使用过皮/内皮电阻 （TEER） 来确定体外屏障模型系统的汇合性和渗透性。在大多数情况下，筷子电极用于确定包含蜂窝单层的细胞培养过滤器插入系统的上腔和下腔之间的电阻抗。过滤膜允许细胞通过建立紧密的结点粘附、极化和相互作用。该技术已被描述与各种不同的细胞系（例如，血脑屏障的细胞，血脑脊液屏障，或胃肠道和肺肠道）。TEER 测量设备可以从不同的实验室设备供应商处轻松获得。但是，如果适当的电压计是自行组装的，则有更具成本效益和可定制的解决方案。本出版物的总体目标是建立一个可靠的具有可编程输出频率的器件，该器件可与市售的筷子电极一起使用，用于 TEER 测量。

为了比较自组装的电压计与市售的电压表的运行情况，记录了两个器件的电压示波器。
如图2 A所示，当使用1 kΩ测试电阻器进行负载工作时，参考仪器生成了振幅为80 mV、振荡时间为80 ms的方波信号，相当于12.5 Hz的频率。

A Simple Approach to Perform TEER Measurements Using a Self-Made Volt-Amperemeter with Programmable Output Frequency

在这里，我们演示如何设置具有可编程输出频率的廉价伏特安度计，该仪表可与市售的筷子电极一起使用，用于跨皮/内皮电阻测量。

使用具有可编程输出频率的自制伏特安度计执行 TEER 测量的简单方法

Transepithelial/endothelial electrical resistance (TEER) has been used since the 1980s to determine confluency and permeability of in vitro barrier model ...

自20世纪80年代以来，用于测量跨皮电阻抗，以确定上皮单层在细胞培养中的汇合和阻隔功能。基础技术是一种四端子传感，它使用不同的对载电流和电压感应电极进行更精确的测量。有几个商用设备可以测量跨皮阻抗，但尽管使用方便，可靠性高，但也有一些缺点，因为不可翻译的输出频率和昂贵的。因此，我们代表如何构建一个经济高效且可编程的伏安计。首先，我们希望展示使用商用设备的 TEER 测量的工作原理。为此，我们在Transwell过滤器上培养了一层细胞层，其孔径为3微米。施罗德等人将此设置描述为血脑脊液屏障的体外模型。现在，筷子电极连接到上皮伏安米。设备已打开并设置为测量电阻。电极在80%乙醇中灭菌，随后在适当的介质中平衡。要测量的阻抗将作为参考值，以评估随后将组装的伏安米的可靠性。在此示例中，我们记录 680 欧姆的阻抗。让我们从具有可编程输出频率的低预算电压安式计的组装开始。首先，您将需要一个标准的 USB 充电器和一个 USB 延长线作为五伏直流电源。然后，USB 开发板上的 8 位微控制器将用于生成方波电流。四根带香蕉插头的电缆连接到两个标准万用表，以测量电压和电流。请确保万用表能够测量使用 TrueRMS 的一系列微电流。在标准电话电缆上可以找到一个母式 RJ14 连接器。只要确保连接器有六个引脚，其中至少是内部四个连接。最后，您将需要一些标准设备，如我们的电缆、光泽端子、120 千米电阻器，以及一些作为绝缘脱光机、压接工具、线端铁和焊接铁的工具。设备组装完全按照布局图中的图所示。首先，USB 扩展连接到微控制器。在正常操作期间，它由五伏直流 USB 充电器供电，该充电器可轻松连接到个人计算机进行编程。两根电缆被剥离，一侧用线端铁管压接。另一侧直接焊接到零引脚和两个微控制器，或焊接凸耳，而凸耳又被夹在各自的引脚上。接下来，送电电缆连接到光泽端子。第一个万用表将用于测量电流，并连接与120千米电阻和通过电流的筷子电极的系列连接。这种安排可确保输出电流受到限制，因此测量对细胞生存能力没有影响。电话延长线的四根导线被拆解并压接到之前所示的铁杉。准备好电缆后，您必须测试导体和引脚的连续性。在我们的示例中，引脚 3 到 6 连接到白色、棕色、绿色和黄色导体。现在引脚五和六，即绿色和黄色，连接到光泽端子，以施加电压到外部电极对。最后，您将必须将第二个万用表（将用于测量跨皮电压降）连接到引脚三和四，即在我们的示例中，连接到白色和棕色导体。我们决定在廉价的塑料机箱安装安装。在第一次使用之前，必须对微控制器进行编程。源代码以 C+ 编写，可由 USB 上传。简而言之，将零固定到中心输出模式。打开电源时，功能环路将开始在接地和五伏之间交替作为引脚，并具有可变延迟。在我们的示例中，我们使用的理论半振荡时间为 40 毫秒。让我们看看测量结果与之前获得的参考值相比如何。筷子电极重新定位到最近组装的伏安度计上。设备分三步打开电源。也就是说，插入 USB 充电器，将左万用表切换到交流电压测量，将第二个万用表切换到微安培。注意，必须显式选择该交流电。在此示例中，Transwell 滤波器系统的潜在下降量约为 25 毫伏，而我们记录的电流为 37.1 微安。根据欧姆定律，电阻抗可以方便地计算在674欧姆，这是非常接近参考值680。我们已经证明测量值在零到 1.8 千米之间是可靠的。因此，所述的电压计既可用于初始实验，也可用于进一步研究。但是，如果您的结果应公布，您可能始终希望通过测量各个细胞层的分子通量来支持您的数据。
