Sciospec - Model MEArack -Impedance Measurement On Multielectrode Arrays
Well established in electro-physiological research the standard form factor multielectrode arrays (MEAs) are one of the go-to standards when it comes to impedance measurements on cell cultures. With the Sciospec MEArack you get a simple and proven solution for tackling these measurements without any awkward self made cabling setups, labor intensive manual channel switching or complicated third party multiplexer integrations on top of a home cooked chip adapter… With the ExtensionPort system the MEArack just plugs into compatible impedance analyzers like the ISX-3 and you´re good to go – it´s that easy
- adapter for multi-electrode-arrays (MEAs) and other sensors-/biochips industry standard format
- compatible with a range of Sciospec products from multiplexers and impedance analyzers all the way to the EPIX platform
- layout fitting broad range of industry standard sensors
- optional custom chip development
- small form factor, low profile
- bottom and top windows for use in combination with microscopes
- via cable or directly inserted in the instrument – with SC98 all options are valid
- industry standard electrodes/sensors available from several manufacturers
- tons of electrode geometries and materials to choose from
- custom made electrode structures to perfectly fit your needs
- optional integration of fluidic handling or temperature control
Just as important as the correct instrument is the sensor type you use. The MEArack is compatible with industry standard chips available from several manufacturers world wide. Typical sensor geometries range from simple spot electrodes, over interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) up to highly specialized electrodes for specific cell cultures and experiment types.
Need something more tailored towards your needs? We can help you design and manufacture your own sensor structures specifically targeting your application. Integration of fluidic handling and temperature control is also available.
