MEA Xpress – Multiwell-MEA

Multiwell Electrophysiology with Automated Liquid Handling

Completely automated experiments without user interference
Automated dilution series preparation, compound application, and electrophysiological recordings for 24- and 96-well plates
Undisturbed environmental control
Ease of use: Electrophysiological recording and liquid handling in one powerful software

The MEA Xpress: the complete solution for multiwell microelectrode array (MEA) recordings and automated liquid handling.

Automates dilution series preparation
Houses the multiwell plate with your samples
Automates compound application
Records electrophysiological data from 288 channels; for cardiac and neuronal samples and compound screening
Delivers data files with electrophysiological data and meta information ready for analysis in the Multiwell-Analyzer

Completely automatic experiment: Walk away from the bench and let MEA Xpress do the work.
Use pre-defined pipetting scripts or customize your own
Fast drug application: Fills 96-well plate within 20 seconds
Two pipette mounts (any combination of single- and 8-channel pipettes): Flexibility for pipetting from various reagent reservoirs and plates
Complete experiment can be set up in advance, no user-interference needed during experiment: 7 freely assignable slots for storage of pipette racks, stock solutions, medium & washing solutions or compound plates
Smooth, quiet movement for recording with Multiwell-MEA-System: Noise free electrophysiological recordings
Highest accuracy for your data: Multiwell-MEA-System offers up to 50 kHz sampling rate
Atmosphere lid: Keeps physiological conditions in wells consistent
Various plate types for your sample available (all SBS-compliant): Solution for cardiac and neuronal samples, medium or high throughput
Tools for liquid handling and MEA recording in one powerful software: Complete data set available for analysis
Multiwell-MEA-System and liquid handling robot can be utilized separately as stand-alone systems
