The Multiwell-MEA-System is designed to run simple, standardized experiments with high throughput, and analyze all replicates in one go. The Multiwell-MEAs are best suited for neuronal or cardiac cells, either primary or derived from stem cells.
Substance Screening
The main focus of the system is substance screening. Dose response curves for single or multiple compounds are managed and automatically documented by our Multiwell-Screen software. Different concentrations can be applied cumulatively to a single well, or individually to a number of wells. Preliminary result reports for each experiment are generated at the end of each experiment and saved together with the data. See the Software section for more details about the analysis parameters.

Cell Type Screening
Instead of applying new compounds to established cells, it’s also possible to screen new or modified cell types for their spontaneous activity or reaction to established substances. The flexible experiment layout enables experiments with multiple cells types and multiple substances on one plate.
Electrical or Optical Stimulation
Stimulation capability is included as standard in the Multiwell-MEA-System. Electrical stimulation in any well can be easily incorporated into the experimental protocol. For optical stimulation, an optional accessory is required, but the Multiwell-Screen software comes prepared to control and integrate it into the experimental workflow.

Combined Approaches with MEA Technology
By having a standard interface board for multiple headstage options, MCS gives researchers an opportunity to cost effectively utilize both the Multiwell-MEA-System as well as the regular single well MEA2100-System. This combination offers the advantage of both approaches; high channel counts per well and experimental flexibility on the single well arrays with the possibility to scale up established assays directly to the multiwell format.
