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

MED64 Connector

MED Connector (MED-C03)

  • 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-CP04

MED ThermoConnector (MED-CP04)

  • 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.

For Quad II System

MED-C04

MED Mini Connector (MED-C04)

  • Connector for the MED64-Quad II System.
