BioCAM DupleX
Where the functional screening revolution begins
Introducing a fully bi-directional microelectrode array platform for 2D and 3D invitro imaging
Overview
In vitro electrophysiology reimagined
BioCAM DupleX is a state-of-the-art, high-resolution microelectrode array (also known as multielectrode array) platform for powerful in vitro functional imaging.
Its bidirectional electrodes make it possible to simultaneously record high-density electrophysiological data at 20 kHz and induce electrical neural network stimulation from any of the 4,096 microelectrodes.
This advanced platform works with both classical planar 2D cell culture as well as our innovative 3D HD-MEA technology.
The BioCAM DupleX is compatible with our latest generation of Khíron chips, which feature 4,096 µNeedle electrodes to penetrate structured brain tissues and obtain signals from inside your biological models such as slices, organoids, or spheroids.
Our journey to perfection
1 product, 15 years of R&D
BioCAM DupleX is the result of 15 years of research and development, embodying our experience in bioengineering CMOS microelectrode array (MEA) devices, electrophysiology, data processing and biological models.
It is electrophysiology at its best.
Electrophysiology in 3D
An ideal match: BioCAM DupleX and Khíron
The BioCAM DupleX is the first Microelectrode Array platform of its kind able to power 3D high-density CMOS-MEA chips.
With the Khíron microchip family developed by 3Brain, the BioCAM DupleX can simultaneously record and stimulate from all 4,096 microelectrodes structured in a penetrating µNeedle grid.
These revolutionary µNeedle electrodes access information from inside all kinds of tissues – such as slices, organoids, spheroids and scaffolded 3D cultures – without damaging them, making the BioCAM DupleX the only platform for high-resolution in vitro 3D functional imaging.
Electrophysiology revolutionized
Complex electrophysiology setups, where the wiring of a single electrode to the amplifier can significantly change the noise level and impair the experiment, or where the interpretation of the signals coming from your setup is restricted to electrophysiological experts, are now a distant memory.
BioCAM DupleX makes setup as easy as possible by automating important settings and optimizing noise, thus making electrophysiology accessible to everyone. Complex electrophysiological traces are then converted into microscopy-like, easy-to-understand, fast-to-process functional images.
Sensing and actuation with 4,096 electrodes
Bidirectional platform
Whenpaired with the HD-MEA from the Khíron family (Accura HD-MEA), the BioCAM DupleX can use any of the recording sites to release an electrical stimulus, thus making it a fully bidirectional platform.
Coupled with BrainWave, our unique integrated software for recording, stimulation and real-time processing, BioCAM DupleX is the perfect solution for easily setting up complex experiments. Study functional connectivity, information processing or complex behaviors like learning and memory in neuronal networks – all without the need for external stimulating electrodes or third-party electronics.
Touch button and LED interface
Precision at your fingertips
After inserting a microelectrode array (HD-MEA) chip into the BioCAM DupleX, the motorized locking mechanism activates with a simple press of the lock button to enable precise contact and alignment. The system automatically recognizes the MEA chip and is ready to acquire data.
A convenient set of LED lights shows whenthe BioCAM DupleX is powered on, whether the MEA chip is locked in and when the system is recording.
A close-up view
Integrated reference
The BioCAM DupleX features an integrated reference electrode for the microelectrode array (MEA) chip to simplify the experimental procedure, reducing the risk of contamination, interference noise and accidental spills of media.
