Replace the lid and close it carefully.
Warning: Spilled liquid can damage or even completely destroy the electronics of the
MEA256 amplifier. Please be careful when setting up your perfusion system and when
starting the perfusion. Take care that the flow rates of the inlet and outlet flow match
so that flooding of the amplifier is efficiently prevented.
Grounding the bath
256MEAs are equipped with 4 internal reference electrodes, which will be automatically
connected to the systems ground when the amplifier is closed. This has the advantage that
you can keep the culture chamber closed and sterile (for example, with MEA-MEM
semipermeable membranes).
Service and Maintenance
You should clean the contact pins of the amplifier carefully with a soft tissue and alcohol or
isopropanol from time to time, especially if you have problems with the noise level. For handling
and cleaning of the MEA, please refer to the MEA manual or to MEA Cleaning Quick Guide on the
MCS web site www.multichannelsystems.com.
Warning: Please be very careful when handling the amplifier, or cleaning the device!
The pins can be damaged easily.
