Method: Measurement of Trans-Epithelial Electrical Resistance with EVOM2 and Chopstick Electrode

Trans-epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) can be used as a measure of cell monolayer confluence, health, and integrity. An Epithelial Voltohmmeter (EVOM) is used to take TEER measurements. This SOP details how to take TEER readings using an EVOM with chopstick electrode.
