Data Acquisition with the USB-MEA256-Systems

The USB-MEA256-System is a compact and portable stand-alone solution for MEA recordings with
integrated amplification, data acquisition, and analog / digital conversion. The system acquires
data from up to 252 electrode channels, four additional analog channels, and 16 digital IN / OUT
channels. The digitized electrode data is transmitted to the connected computer via universal
serial bus (High Speed USB 2.0). Thus, it is possible to use any computer as a data acquisition
computer, also a laptop. Recorded data is graphed, analyzed, and reviewed with Cardio2D and
Cardio2D+ program. The integrated filter amplifier supports 252 electrode channels. The gain
of 1100 is fixed. The bandwidth of 1 Hz to 3 kHz is suitable for a broad range of applications.

Data Acquisition with the USB-ME32-FAI-Systems

The USB-ME32-FAI-System is a very compact and portable stand-alone solution. It features an
integrated 32-channel filter amplifier and data acquisition. The digitally converted electrode
signals are transmitted to the connected computer via universal serial bus (High Speed USB 2.0).
As in other USB-ME-Systems, it is possible to use any computer as a data acquisition computer,
also a laptop. The size of the complete system is small enough to fit into a laptop bag together
with the computer. The system is for use with a 32-channel miniature amplifier MPA32I. You can
directly connect the EcoFlexMEA36 to the 32-channel miniature preamplifier for recording with
Cardio2D.
