Newcastle University awarded a contract to 3Brain AG for the supply of a large-scale high-density (HD) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) multi-electrode array (MEA) system with 3D pillar electrodes, valued at £148,676.21.

The system is designed to record from neuronal preparations in vitro, including from neurones in the depth of tissue below the surface where they are often damaged by the slicing process.

It must fit under various microscope platforms to enable simultaneous recording from the tissue, supporting cutting-edge neuroscience research through measurement of electrical recordings and epifluorescence microscopy of neuronal preparations.
