256MEA-STIM-C-Con
Connector for Electrode Stimulation of 256MEAs in USB-MEA256-Systems
multi
channel
systems
*
Connector for inserting the stimulation cable
CB and / or CR from the STG into the provided
stimulation sockets of the USB-MEA256-System.
Stimulation cable CB (black) and
CR (red) with connected adapter.
The stimulation cables have a 0.76 mm
connector on the head for the adapter,
and a 2.0 mm connector on the head
for the stimulus generator.
The electrodes of the 256MEA can also be used for electrical stimulation. Around the 256MEA,
there are two rows of connection sockets on each side. There is one socket for each electrode
and four ground sockets. These sockets can be used to connect each electrode to a STG,
for example, a stimulus generator of STG4000 series from Multi Channel Systems MCS GmbH.
The ground sockets can be used to connect other devices, like the stimulator or the perfusion
to the systems ground. You will find the layout map of the sockets in chapter "Pin Layout"
in the “Appendix” of the USB-MEA256-System manual.
To make it easier to find the correct socket for each electrode, stickers are included to color code
the electrode sockets in four blocks of 2 x 8 sockets, corresponding to the color code used in the
layout map in chapter "Pin Layout". If you want to do electrical stimulation, please attach the stickers
as shown in the image above. The edge of the sticker has to be aligned with the first pair of sockets.
