Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides detailed information on the in vivo solutions for extracellular recording offered by Multi Channel Systems. It covers stationary and portable systems, wireless recording systems, and various components and accessories that enhance the functionality and flexibility of these systems.

Stationary In Vivo Systems
The USB-ME-PGA/FAI-Systems are designed for in vivo recordings with microelectrode arrays, supporting up to 256 channels. These systems include headstage amplifiers, filter amplifiers, and a USB data acquisition box, allowing real-time recording and flexibility for both in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Portable In Vivo Systems
Portable-ME-Systems offer a compact solution for data acquisition from 16 or 32 channels. These systems are plug-and-play, portable, and include all necessary components for immediate experimentation.

Wireless Recording Systems
The Wireless-Systems provide an all-in-one solution for amplifying, recording, and analyzing in vivo data from up to 32 channels. They feature a high signal-to-noise ratio and are suitable for various applications such as spikes, LFP, EEG, ECG, EMG, and ECoG.

Microelectrode Arrays and Accessories
Flexible microelectrode arrays (FlexMEAs) are available for acute and chronic experiments, offering high-quality recordings. The nanoZ device facilitates impedance testing and conditioning of electrode sites. Adapters are available for various standard microelectrodes.

Stimulus Generators
The 4000 series stimulus generators provide independent stimulus outputs with optical isolation and support for arbitrary analog waveforms. They include MC_Stimulus software for synchronization and dynamic signal changes.

Software and Analysis
MC_Rack software offers flexible data acquisition and analysis capabilities, including online filtering, spike sorting, and event detection. It supports integration with custom software and provides a user-friendly interface.

Key Features
  • Real-time signal detection and feedback
  • Support for up to 256 channels
  • Wireless and portable options
  • High-end amplifier and data acquisition technologies
  • Comprehensive software for data management and analysis

multichannel^ systems Innovations in Electrophysiology Depending on the number of channels, you can connect one, two or four filter amplifiers at the same time running different experiments on each of them. Open the data acquisition and analysis software MC_Rack up to four times at once and control your amplifiers independently. The USB-ME-System has an integrated DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which makes a real-time signal detection/feedback possible. Light-weight and small-sized headstages Multi Channel Systems offers miniature and micro preamplifiers (MPA or pPA) with 2, 8, 16, and 32 channels,...

in vivo Solutions for Extracellular Recording-4

Impedance testing device nanoZ Multichannel microelectrode arrays for neuronal recording require testing of electrode site impedances to identify faulty sites, and conditioning of sites for effective microstimulation. Manual methods are labor intensive. The nanoZ was specifically designed for testing multichannel electrodes, and has several electroplating modes for automated impedance matching, site activation, and site re-juvenation. It can accurately measure the impedance of a 64-channel electrode in under a 15 seconds. Adapters for NeuroNexus probes, MEAs, and connectors from Millmax and Omnetics...

Flexible and easy-to-use software The data acquisition and analysis program MC_Rack is highly adaptable with unlimited possibilities. It is included with all in vivo-systems from Multi Channel Systems. For routine lab work, the program is set up like an instrument rack on a workbench: • Combine virtual instruments (e.g. oscilloscope, filter, spike sorter, and much more). Virtual instrument rack: Use taskoriented template racks or design your own. Select any permutation of data streams for displaying, analyzing, exporting, etc. Apply several digital filters with different cutoff frequencies e.g....

Acute and chronic recordings Recording systems from Multi Channel Systems are compatible with all kinds of in vivo electrode arrays on the market. Spike activity from acute or chronically implanted electrodes can be recorded with high resolution. It is possible to monitor any channel as an audio output in real-time, which helps positioning the electrode in the brain. All relevant parameters can be monitored online on all channels. The screenshot in the right shows data from an electrode array chronically implanted in a rat brain. Spikes are sorted online, overall spike rate and unit-specific...
