Schematic representation of the Ussing chamber measuring gut secretion.
Notes: Viable biopsies are mounted between two chambers filled with Krebs-Ringer solution. The two chambers respectively simulate blood stream and gut lumen. The mounted intestinal mucosa actively pumps ions from one chamber to the other and the resultant electrical gradient between chambers is measured with electrodes inserted on both sides.
