An Ussing chamber is a scientific tool used to measure the short-circuit current as an indicator of net ion transport taking place across an epithelium. Ussing chambers are increasingly being used to measure ion transport in both native tissue, like gut mucosa and monolayer of cells grown on permeable supports.
