Microelectrode Arrays (MEAs) assays
High resolution, functional imaging based on high density MEA electronic interfaces measuring extracellular voltage potentials. The system available is the multichannel amplifier BioCAM DupleX and planar MEAs electronic chips equipped with 4,096 electrodes (3BRAIN AG, Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland). The MEAs chip is the CorePlateTM 1W38/60 (NF55.004_MEA chip testing and provision) with a recording area of 3.8 mm x 3.8 mm, each electrode is 21 mm x 21 mm with a 60 mm pitch. The assay is suitable for the characterization of functional phenotypes in cell networks, and for compound screening. The high density of electrodes allows to collect a large amount of data within a single recording, and it is particularly suitable for accessing the electrical phenotype of brain and cardiac organoids.
Ion imaging assisted experiment
Fluorescence-based time-lapse recordings of intracellular ion oscillations, based on confocal or epifluorescence microscopy.
- Imaging on Nikon Ti2 spinning disk with four cameras, TIRF and FRAP module (SID: 007 or equivalent system suggested by the NF staff).

Image Analysis can be provided as a combined service by the National Facility for Data Handling and Analysis. Please select: SID: NF61.01.01 – Light Microscopy Analysis.
