CMOS-MEA5000-System

Tabs

Overview

The CMOS-MEA5000-System is the in vitro recording system from Multi Channel Systems for extracellular recordings and stimulation at the highest resolution.

Based on the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology, it opens up new possibilities in electrophysiological research.

With more than 4000 recording sites, each of them sampled at 25 kHz, the chip allows extracellular recordings at a very high spatio-temporal resolution. By including amplification on the chip itself, noise is minimized and a high signal quality is guaranteed.

MCS-InterfaceBoard-3.0-Multiboot IFB-C

As part of the system, the IFB-C multiboot is a new interface board generation which is able to receive data from a MEA2100(-Mini)-Headstage, a Multiwell-MEA-Headstage, a CMOS-MEA5000-Headstage, a MEA2100-Beta-Screen-Headstage, a ME2100-Headstage, or a W2100-Receiver. This makes cost-effective combinations with only one interface board and multiple recording systems possible. You can establish for example your experiments on 60, 120, or 256 electrodes with the MEA2100-System, then add the Multiwell-MEA-Headstage and start high-throughput screening. It's also possible to use the same interface board for in vitro MEA experiments and tethered / wireless in vivo recordings. This leaves you with even more flexibility in switching between possible configurations for your specific research needs.

Key features:

  • Real-time signal detection and feedback*
  • Freely programmable DSP*
  • Multiple inputs/outputs, including digital, analog, and audio
  • SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports

* applicable for MEA2100(-Mini), ME2100, and W2100
