Most advanced and affordable solution on the market

for in vitro microelectrode recording

Low noise recordings   Advanced stimulation capabilities   Cost-effective, reusable MEA plates

Alpha Omega has developed a low-cost, versatile, advanced solution for in vitro recording.

Alpha Omega’s MEA plates integrate seamlessly with the AlphaLab SnR system to provide researchers with a powerful solution to culture and slices recordings.

Researchers can now enjoy low-noise, high-quality recordings while also having access to new features, such as one-click impedance check, closed-loop application capabilities, and an advanced stimulation generation system capable of delivering complex, unique stimulation paradigms with ease.
