The electronics are consolidated in a single case
that sits beside a tissue culture incubator. Two leads connect the
electronics to an electrode array holder within the incubator space – this,
in turn, makes contact with up to two consumable arrays. A USB cable
provides communication to a PC that controls all data acquisition, storage
and analysis. In addition to the ECIS electronics and software, the system
is supplied with a state-of-the-art PC/monitor, colour ink jet printer and
an initial supply of electrode arrays. An optional compact CO2
tissue culture incubator is also available.
The ECIS software runs on a Window’s ™ platform
with user-friendly software for all operations.
