MEA Xpress

Complete solution for automated liquid handling and Multiwell-MEA recordings and analysis:
MEA Xpress robot for automated dilution series preparation, and compound application with integrated Multiwell-MEA headstage and interface board for recording and analyzing data from multiwell MEA plates. Including accessories. USB High Speed data transfer with a sampling rate of up to 50 kHz/channel.

• MEA Xpress robot:
Automated dilution series preparation and compound application
  - Seven freely assignable slots for reagent reservoirs, compound plates and other labware.
  - Two pipette mounts (for any combination of single- and 8-channel pipettes)
  - Four different pipette models covering a volume range of 1 – 1000 µl
  - By default equipped with single-channel pipette (30-300 µl) and 8-channel pipette (5-50 µl)
  - Speed: Fills a 96-well plate in 20 seconds
  - Accuracy (systematic error) for default pipette models: 5 - 50 µl: 1 - 5 %, 30 - 300 µl: 0.6 - 5 %
  - Precision (random error) for default pipette models: 5 - 50 µl: 0.4 - 5 %, 30 - 300 µl: 0.3 - 2.5 %
  - Protocols: Pre-defined or customizable (open-source)
  - WiFi and USB connection
• Multiwell-MEA headstage:
  288-channel pre- and filter amplifier with integrated data
  acquisition and analog-digital converter
