MED CONNECTOR

MED Connector
(MED-C03)

Connector

  • Used for communication between the MED probe and amplifier.
  • Provides a mechanically-stable platform for the MED probe.
  • Multi-layer electrical shielding rejects hum noise and provides excellent signal-to-noise ratios.
  • NO active on-board electrical circuitry; connectors can safely be placed in high-humidity environment (e.g. cell culture incubator).
  • Provides clear optical path through probe for microscopy.
     

Specifications

MED probe securing mechanism Screw down
Material Aluminum
Contact resistance <30 mΩ
Printed wiring 4 layers (reject hum noise by a multi-shield structure)
Dimensions W174 x H21 x D150 mm


 


MED Heated Connector      NEW!
(MED-CP02H)




 

  • Heater and thermocouple sensor are incorporated into the MED connector.
  • Bath temperature in the MED probe is maintained using a ThermoClamp-1TM *controller manufactured by AutoMate Scientific, Inc.
  • Easy-to-use. No additional equipment necessary. Simply set the desired temperature on the control panel of the ThermoClamp-1TM. Measured temperature is displayed on the large LCD display.
  • Can be used with or without perfusion. Included tubing through connector provides in-line solution heating.
  • Low-noise. ThermoClamp-1TM circuitry is optimized for electrophysiology, preserving the MED64 system’s industry-leading low noise at your desired temperature.
