Abstract

A cell perifusion chamber structure capable of continuously monitoring processes during polymerase chain reaction includes a cell chamber body having a support surface with an aperture defined through the support surface, and wall structure extending upwardly from the support surface to define an interior. The wall structure includes passages therein. A gasket is disposed on the support surface so as not to cover the aperture. A first transparent cover is disposed on the gasket so as to cover the aperture. A water bath body is provided and has a first portion and a second portion extending from the first portion. The first portion defines a second support surface. The second portion is received in the interior of the cell chamber body and is in interference fit arrangement with the wall structure. The water bath body has an interior support surface with an aperture therethrough. The aperture extends through the first and second portions. The first portion has first ports therein which communicate with the aperture of the water bath body. The second portion includes second ports therein which communicate with the aperture of the water bath body and with associated passages in the ce…
