2.2.3 MEA1060-BC Amplifier with Stimulus Artifact Suppression
All systems are available with MEA1060-BC amplifiers with blanking circuit featuring stimulus
artifact suppression. Electrodes can be selected for recording or stimulation with the MEA_Select
program.
2.2.4 MEA60- and MEA120-System
The MEA60-System is a complete system for in vitro recording from microelectrode arrays
(MEAs), temperature control, and data acquisition from up to 60 electrodes plus 3 additional
analog and 3 additional digital input bits. The data acquisition card can convert up to 64 analog
channels, or 63 analog channels and 1 digital channel in total.
The MEA120-System has a MC_Card extension that allows recording from two MEAs and two
MEA1060 amplifiers with 120 electrodes in total plus 3 additional analog and 3 additional digital
input bits. The data acquisition card can convert up to 128 analog channels, or 127 analog
channels and 1 digital channel in total.
2.2.5 MEA Switch for Using Additional Amplifiers
You can use a MEA Switch MEAS2/1 to select up to 60 channels from two MEA1060 amplifiers
with a MEA60-System. The MEA Switch is very useful for exploiting your MEA-System even more
efficiently, as often not all MEA electrodes show signals of interest. Choose any of the up to 60
(120) recording channels conveniently by mouse-click with the MEA_Switch software.
With a MEA120-System and a MEA Switch MEAS4/2, you can even record from four MEAs
simultaneously.
2.3 Accessories
MCS provides a wide range of accessories that will make your MEA-System even more efficient
and convenient to use. All accessories are perfect for use with MCS products, but are easily
adaptable to custom systems as well. Some accessories are included in complete systems, other
have to be ordered separately.
 1- or 2-channel Temperature controller for MEAs and for perfusion cannula PH01
 The SD-MEA Signal Divider allows you to connect any channel via BNC connector to an external
device, for example, an oscilloscope, without interrupting the data acquisition.
 Digital in/out extension for connecting other devices to single digital input and output
channels of the MC_Card via BNC connectors (up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs), for example, for
synchronizing stimulation and recording, or for applying feedback.
 Magnetic plates and plates with M3 threads for positioning and tightly fixing tools next to the
MEA.
 External power supply PS40W for use with the MEA Switch or for custom setups.
