7.4.1 Description

At the top of the MP-MEA:
- The connector for the MEA (in the middle).
To fit with most MEA, two types of adapters
are available (connection from the top or
from below)
- Three 2 mm-connectors (in the middle
above the MEA connector). One to connect
an external reference electrode, one to
connect an external counter electrode and
one to connect to ground of the instrument.
-
Two LEDs. The LED “power” indicates if
the MP-
MEA is powered on and the “status”
LED indicates experiments is running.

At the right side:
- Connector for the Ultra Low current probe.
P1, S1, S2, S3, P2 and GND 2mm-
connectors of the Ultra Low current probe
have to be connected to the appropriate
connectors.
The Ultra low current probe to cable and
DB-15 connector to connect MP-MEA to the
board are available at the rear panel of the
MP-MEA.
Two cables are needed to connect MP-MEA to instrument board. The DB-15 connectors of the
instrument and of the one of the MP-MEA module has to be connected with DB-15/DB-15
cable AND the ultra low current probe connected to the DB-25 of the board has to be connected
to the dedicated plug.
7.5 Test boxes for calibration check and user training
These accessories can be used to check the instrument or to help user optimize their setup..
7.5.1 Dummy Cell 2 (DC2)
The Dummy Cell 2 is provided with each
channel board. The circuitry is made of
resistors (accuracy 1%) and capacitors.
On the left side there are two lugs, on the right
side two holes. This allows several DC-2s to be
bound together.
The dummy cells for boosters and DC2s can be
bound together as well.
