The MEA2100-Mini-System is a miniaturized in vitro recording system. The state of the art power saving electronics enable the option to operate the system continuously in an incubator while maintaining most of the MEA2100 platform advantages.

The system consists of a 60- or 120-channel headstage, featuring a sampling rate of 50kHz per channel at a 24bit resolution, as well as a 2-channel stimulator with user customizable patterns.


 

The digitized data is transfered from the headstage to a signal collector unit for up to four headstages. The signal collector unit is connected via an eSATA cable to the interface board. With a multifold MEA2100-Mini-System up to two signal collectors can be connected to one interface board, thereby creating a system with 8 headstages for parallel recordings. 

þ Features

• Scale up to eight headstages for higher throughput in multiple simultaneous experiments

• 60 or 120 recording channels per well — for high spatiotemporal resolution

• Independent electrical stimulation patterns (parallel stimulation pathways) in LTP/LTD experiments

• Up to 50 kHz sampling rate, 24 bit resolution for highest data accuracy in the field

• Allows functional recording from within an incubator — under perfect conditions for your cell cultures
