<p>A superfusion apparatus (30) for the controlled reaction of a sample within a test chamber (44) through controlled exposure to a series of reagents (38) in a set test sequence is provided for electrical or chemical stimulation to determine if a receptor binding compound is an agonist or antagonist. The superfusion apparatus (30) provides a mass production but meticulously controlled sample environment for controlling temperature, quantity and arrangement of reagents and wash fluids to provide a high reproducibility of results which may be computer assisted. The device has a fully automated mode or a manually operated mode. The fully automated mode allows for the storage and execution of a number of different tests to be performed on the samples due to the provision of desired sequences of test parameters.</p> |
