MEA2100-Mini-Systems
Compact, scalable in vitro MEA recording system with 60/120-channel headstages, 24-bit resolution at 50 kHz/channel, and support for up to 8 parallel headstages for high-throughput electrophysiology.
Overview
The MEA2100-Mini-Systems is a compact, high-performance in vitro electrophysiology recording system designed for flexible and scalable neuronal and cardiac network studies. Each headstage offers 60 or 120 recording channels at 24-bit resolution and 50 kHz per channel, with 2 independent stimulation channels built in. For high-throughput applications, up to 8 headstages can be connected in parallel—enabling simultaneous acquisition of up to 480 or 960 channels across multiple preparations.
IFB-C Multiboot Interface Board
The MEA2100-Mini is powered by the new IFB-C Multiboot interface board, a next-generation platform compatible with MEA2100(-Mini), Multiwell-MEA, CMOS-MEA5000, ME2100, and W2100 headstages. It features real-time signal detection, a freely programmable DSP for custom processing pipelines, and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity for high-bandwidth data transfer.
System Setup
A complete MEA2100-Mini setup consists of Microelectrode Arrays (MEAs), a miniaturized headstage, a Signal Collector Unit (SCU), the IFB-C interface board, and a PC running Multi Channel Suite software. This modular architecture allows researchers to scale their recording capacity incrementally.
Headstage
The MEA2100-Mini headstage features a small footprint compatible with standard incubators, making it suitable for long-term recordings under physiological conditions. It supports 60 or 120 recording channels at 24-bit resolution, with 2 independent stimulation channels per headstage for closed-loop and stimulation-response protocols.
Signal Collector Unit (SCU)
Each Signal Collector Unit (SCU) supports up to 4 headstages, and two SCUs can be connected per IFB-C interface board—enabling control of up to 8 headstages simultaneously. The SCU also controls up to 4 optical stimulation units, supporting optogenetic experimental designs.
Software: Multi Channel Suite
The MEA2100-Mini integrates with Multi Channel Suite, a comprehensive software package including:
- Multi Channel Experimenter – Real-time data acquisition and experiment control
- Multi Channel Analyzer – Offline analysis with video synchronization capabilities
- Multi Channel DataManager – Data export to HDF5, Matlab, Python (.nex, .ced) formats
