Quickly and easily measure electrical network behaviours in live cells at high throughput

10 Dec 2019

In vitro neural models are a proven powerful strategy for the study of neural function and complex disorders of the human nervous system. Can the complexity of your neural cell models be revealed with only cell imaging, gene expression analysis, or Western blots? The neurons may have the proper characteristics, but how do they function in a network? Using Maestro microelectrode array (MEA) technology, scientists can now quickly and easily measure electrical network behavior in live cells at high throughput.

ElectrophysiologyElectrophysiology is the study of biological voltage changes, from a single ion channel through to a whole organ scale. Voltages can be measured using patch clamping, automated workstations, electrophysiology rigs or cell based assays. Specific cell lines, manipulators and microinjectors are also available for electrophysiology research.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.Pain ManagementNeuronsNeurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, involved in transmitting information. Understanding neuron function is critical in neurobiology, neuroscience, and neurodegenerative disease research.

They are essential for drug discovery, toxicology testing, and understanding cellular mechanisms. These assays are used to assess cell viability, proliferation, gene expression, and other cellular activities. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best cell-based assay tools and reagents, compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.NeurodegenerationNeurodegeneration refers to the progressive deterioration of the structure and function of the nervous system, often seen in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Research focuses on early detection and potential therapies.
