MED Connector
The MED Connector holds and connects the MED Probe (MEA) to the amplifiers. Thanks to the MED Probe’s lowest-impedance electrodes the MED Connector holding the MED Probe is connected to the amplifier with 2m-long cable, that does not generate signal attenuation. This unique MED64 system configuration will provide the great flexibilities for your experiments.
For Basic / Plex System
MED Connector
(MED-C03)
Features
- No active onboard electrical circuitry; Connectors can safely be placed in a humidified environment (e.g. cell culture incubator).
- Provides clear optical path through MED Probe for microscopy.
- Provides a mechanically-stable platform for the MED Probe.
MED ThermoConnector
(MED- CP04)
Features
- Heater and thermocouple sensors are incorporated into the bottom unit of the MED Connector.
- Bath temperature in the MED Probe is maintained using a dedicated temperature controller.
- Can be used with or without perfusion. Included tubing through connector provides in-line solution heating.
- Aperture in the unit bottom allows observing biological samples with microscope.
