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. The
software tour below will lead you through sample computer screens used to
setup, acquire, and plot data with the Model 1600R.
