Neuronal action potentials (spontaneous or evoked)
Field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP)
Local field potentials (LFP)

Technical specifications:

384 electrodes embedded in 6- (64 electrodes/well) or 24- (16 electrodes/ well) well plates
Particularly suited for cell culture samples
CO₂ control
Heat control
Scheduled recordings
Electric stimulation
Optic stimulation (Lumos)
Pharmacolotical stimulation (bath application of modulators)

Separate upright imaging capacity.

Alternatively: inverted imaging capacity of the MEA1060-Inv-BC set up
