MZ60 MEA Interface
The MZ60 Microelectrode Array Interface supports simultaneous stimulation and extracellular in vitro recording on up to 60 channels and offers environmental control (see HC10 below) and optical isolation.
Headstage amplification is optimized for high input impedance and low output impedance to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio, high sensitivity, and stability for long experimental durations.
The interface is used with our RZ2 BioAmp Processor and the PZ2 Amplifier as part of a complete solution for high spatio-temporal resolution tissue slice and cell culture recordings.
The MZ60 is compatible with a large selection of MEA plates and both inverted and upright microscopes.

HC10 temperature controller
The HC10 temperature controller provides controlled heating for the MEA Interface. This device allows you to adjust temperature settings in either Celsius or Fahrenheit up to a degree. Built in offsets and buffered memory allow user specified settings. The heating coil located underneath the MEA plate is used to monitor the current temperature as well as regulate the temperature.
