AcadeMEA MEA System

AcadeMEA is a scalable, flexible MEA system designed to make electrophysiology more accessible to labs focused on learning, discovery, and early-stage research. By combining a simplified hardware setup with the proven performance of the MEA2100 platform, AcadeMEA lowers the barrier to entry without sacrificing data quality. Its modular design allows users to start with a streamlined configuration and expand into more advanced Multi Channel Systems solutions over time, ensuring long-term flexibility and protecting your investment as research needs evolve.

The eGG USB Interface

The AcadeMEA eGG USB Interface provides a compact, streamlined connection between the headstage and PC, eliminating unnecessary hardware complexity and making setting up experiments easier for newcomers. With direct USB-C connectivity and integrated data conversion, it enables fast setup and reliable signal transfer in a minimal footprint. Clear LED status indicators provide immediate feedback on system readiness, ensuring efficient operation in day-to-day workflows.

The MEA2100-Mini Headstage

At the core of the system, the MEA2100-Mini headstage delivers high-quality signal acquisition with 24-bit resolution and sampling rates up to 50 kHz per channel. Integrated amplification and software-controlled filtering ensure precise, low-noise recordings across 60 or 120 electrodes. It also records from inside an incubator.

Fully compatible with the broader Multi Channel Systems ecosystem, the headstage enables seamless transition to higher-throughput or more advanced MEA platforms as your research progresses.

Need to Scale Up in the Future? Add Headstages Anytime with our IFB-C Board

AcadeMEA makes it easy and cost-effective to scale up to a higher-throughput platform at any time. Our modular design ethos allows you to add additional headstages at any time and even run multiple experiments at the same by adding our IFB-C interface board, which simplifies your setup by connecting multiple Multi Channel Systems platforms through a single, unified interface. Whether you're working with one of our single-well, multiwell, CMOS, or in vivo solutions, the IFB-C allows you to seamlessly switch between configurations without rebuilding your workflow. Start with additional single-well recordings, scale to high-throughput screening, or move between in vitro and in vivo experiments, all using the same core hardware.

Key features:

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

*Available for MEA2100(-Mini), ME2100, and W2100 systems.
