PermeGear Side-Bi-Side Cell Clamps are available now in stainless steel. Black anodized aluminum clamps will be available soon. The stainless steel model pictured to the left, #5G-CC, has two rubber bumpers, one located in the vertical component of the left side and the other in the end of the tightening knob to help in safely securing your membrane or device between the halves of the cell. The holes in the base of the clamp are to locate it correctly on an H Series Stirrer.
When available, aluminum clamps can only be used on single station stirrers and are for membranes or devices thicker than 3mm. |

The photo to the left is of a Side-Bi-Side Cell Clamp and the most common variety of Side-Bi-Side Cell. The cell has a 9mm orifice diameter and 3.4ml volumes on both sides of the joint. Notice that each half of the cell is marked with its volume.
Standard Side-Bi-Side Cells are supplied with a 7/25 ground glass joint in the top of each cell half. Many different joints are available including larger tapered joints, threaded joints, and luer joints. The straight glass ports at the rear of the cell halves are for connecting to a heater/circulator if you are only using one cell. They are used to connect to the hose barbs of the water manifolds on our stirrers. The other ports at the front of the cell are normally connected together with a short length of tubing to allow the warming water to flow from one cell half to the other. |

The Side-Bi-Side Cell from the section above is shown to the left so the clamping surfaces can be seen. These surfaces are ground and lapped flat to minimize leakage. The photo to the right is an end view of the right side of the cell looking directly through the 9mm orifice diameter. PermeGear cells should not leak even with very thin items like dialysis membranes, skin normally acts as its own gasket. We also supply .75mm thick Teflon®closed cell gaskets for all sizes and varieties of our diffusion cells if you feel you need additional sealing capability. |

The cell shown in the photo to the left is a Side-Bi-Side Cell with an extra 7/25 ground joint in each cell half. These cells are often used in iontophoresis work and one or both of the 7/25 Teflon® stoppers in each side may be supplied with a hole for an electrode wire. These cells have 3.4ml volumes on both sides of the joint just like the standard cells. |

This Side-Bi-Side Cell also has the common 9mm orifice diameter but its volumes are 2ml instead of the 3.4ml standard. 9mm Side-Bi-Side Cells are also available in 1ml volumes. |

The researcher who purchased this cell requested an additional port for each cell halve. 12mm diameter device were placed in both the donor and receptor chambers. We supply Teflon® stoppers with our diffusion cells unless glass stoppers are requested. Occasionally Teflon® stoppers are not available in a particular size and then glass stoppers are supplied. |

The amber Side-Bi-Side Cell shown to the left has a 15mm diameter orifice and a 13-425 threaded joint for a septum cap on the right half. The 7/25 female joint on the left half is standard. |

The Valia-Chien Cell shown here has a spherical joint for performing corneal research. The orifice in the 18mm diameter spherical surface is 9mm. Spherical joints are also available with 3mm orifices in 12mm diameters and 5mm orifices in 12mm diameters. This cell has the standard 3.4ml volumes on both sides of the joint. Valia-Chien Cells have #7G-CC Cell Clamps that clamp them from the outer ends of the cell halves also. These clamps are not really necessary for clamping but are useful when using Valia-Chien Cells on the magnetic stirrers designed for them. The clamp shown here is the standard #CC-09-FG Franz Cell Clamp. |

This closeup view of two halves of a Valia-Chien Cell with spherical joint has dotted lines added to more clearly show the inner joint surfaces. This cell has a 3mm orifice diameter going through the 12mm diameter joint. |

The Side-Bi-Side Cell shown to the left is of the 5mm unjacketed variety. You would use this cell if temperature was not a concern unless you were going to use it in an environment in which you could control the temperature. Since the outer jackets of both sides of the cell are not present, the #5G-CC Cell Clamp cannot be used. Therefore a pinchclamp is used for the flat ground joint that holds the membrane between the cell halves. The center-to-center distance of the wells where the stirbars are located remains the same as with a jacketed cell so this cell can still be used on an H Series Stirrer and have both sides of the membrane agitated. |

The Side-Bi-Side Cell shown to the left is also of the unjacketed variety like the 5mm cell shown in the section above, but this cell has a 9mm diameter orifice and a larger clamp to accommodate the orifice. |

This specially customized Side-Bi-Side Cell is larger than a Side-Bi-Side Cell and smaller than a Super Cell. It has a 15mm orifice diameter and 34ml volumes. The large 19/22 Teflon® stoppers allow 15mm diameter devices to be inserted and submerged inside the donor and receptor chambers. The customer supplied their own clamps. |

There is a larger variety of Side-Bi-Side Cells available. The Side-Bi-Side Super Cell shown to the left has a 30mm orifice diameter and each cell half has a 50ml volume. Super Cells are available in orifice diameters up to 60mm and volumes up to 200ml. |
