Shahaf WeissDear Electrophysiologists.
I have recently started collaborating with a startup team of engineers that has developed an innovative MEA chip, supporting 40,000 simultaneous channels for recording and stimulation, all at USB 3.0 transfer rates.
Currently, we are in the phase of determining which product configurations to prioritize. Your insights would be invaluable in this process.
-What form factor would be ideal for your use case?
For instance, we can create:
1. 40K sites on a single well, allowing recording of all 40K. 12mm by 12mm sensing area with 70um pitch.
2. 125K sites on a single well, with recording of 40K. 5.2mm by 5.2mm sensing area with 15um pitch.
3. A high-throughput 6 / 24 / 96 well plate with any choice of either of the above wells.
4. A pay as you go product - Need not pay the full price for all the channels. Purchase at a discounted price with lower channel count and then unlock full channel access later, when more funds are available.
- What are the biggest limitations you have faced with current multi-electrode arrays (MEAs)?
What measurements do you believe labs would want to conduct that are currently unattainable?
- Would a 3D geometry of the array be beneficial, where each set of sites is positioned at different depth planes to record within thick slices organoids?
- What density-pitch?
If you are working with MEAs, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on these questions. please comment here or in DM
