STG5 Opto Stimulus Generator
Designed for precise LED-based optical stimulation, the STG5‑Opto Stimulus Generator delivers the temporal accuracy and stability required for modern optogenetics and light-driven electrophysiology experiments. With fast rise times, high-frequency pulse capability, and accurate waveform reproduction, it enables reliable generation of clean optical pulse trains, and our intuitive software makes it easy to design and control custom light patterns, synchronize stimulation with recordings, and implement trigger-based or closed-loop experiments. For use with the MEA2100 Opto-Stim.

NOW AVAILABLE: STG5hv Stimulus Generator
Designed for demanding electrical stimulation applications, the STG5hv Stimulus Generator delivers the high-voltage output, timing precision, and waveform flexibility required for modern electrophysiology, cardiac research, and tissue stimulation experiments. Supporting programmable outputs up to ±50 V, microsecond-level timing control, and customizable rectangular, ramp, or sinusoidal waveforms, the system enables reliable execution of protocols ranging from electrical field stimulation and muscle physiology studies to S1-S2 cardiac pacing and arrhythmia research. Intuitive MC_Stimulus III software makes it easy to create custom stimulation patterns, synchronize with external devices, and scale from 2 to 8 independently controlled stimulation channels.

Description

Voltage and current stimulation in one easy-to-use device.

STG5

The STG5 includes both voltage and current stimulation capabilities, with no need to reconfigure your device. Switch from voltage to current, or current to voltage, with just one click on the computer.

Stay flexible. 2-8 channels, according to your needs.

Your setup begins with our STG5 Base Unit, which includes 2 channels. If you need additional channels, add up to 3 STG5 Satellite Units, which feature 2 additional channels each – giving you a total of up to 8 channels at once.
All channels are galvanically isolated against each other, meaning that there’s no need to purchase a separate galvanic isolator.

More precise stimulation

Compact design that wastes no space.

STG5

We made the STG5 small but mighty to preserve space in your lab. It tucks in easily wherever you need it. Your STG5 Base and Satellite Units can also be stacked neatly on top of each other (and interlock securely – just like a child’s building blocks – to prevent accidents).

Precise, Flexible LED-Based Optical Stimulation with the STG5 Opto

The STG5-Opto Stimulus Generator provides precise, reliable control of LED-based optical stimulation for demanding electrophysiology experiments. With fast rise times, high temporal resolution, and stable current output, it accurately reproduces optical pulse trains for both simple and complex stimulation protocols. Through the intuitive MC_Stimulus III interface, researchers can easily design custom light patterns, synchronize stimulation with recordings, and implement trigger-based workflows. This flexibility makes the system well suited for a wide range of applications, including optogenetics, ion channel manipulation, retinal research (cellular and organoid models), cardiac optogenetics and pacing studies, arrhythmia modeling, and neural network synchronization experiments.

For use with the MEA2100 Opto-Stim (sold separately).

Easy-to-use software

Our intuitive MC_Stimulus III software helps you save time and work more efficiently. Design complex stimulation patterns, and then save them to use again in the future. Need to switch between voltage and current stimulation? The software makes that fast and easy, too.

Uncomplicated synchronized stimulation

STG5

The STG5 allows for multiple independent, synchronized pulses, as well as triggered stimulation as part of a direct feedback loop. A fast 5μs reaction time means you’ll also collect more precise data.
