Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States, established in 1636 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The University currently owns over 100 PowerLab systems.  These systems are used in the undergraduate labs at the Harvard University Science Center for teaching, as well as university-affiliated hospitals and research centers, such as the Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Public School of Health, McLean Hospital, Beth Israel Deconess Medical Center, Childrens Hospital and the Brigham and Women's Hospital.

PowerLab systems are used mainly for acquiring data in functional MRI, Langendorff Heart studies, wire myography, EOG and EEG recordings, telemetry, in vivo arterial and venous blood pressure, behavioral and sleep studies, biomechanics and cardiac output for the following areas of study:

• Neurobiology
• Psychiatry
• Genetics

• Ophthalmology
• Cardiovascular and renal physiology
• Exercise physiology

2010 - Monitoring acupuncture effects on human brain by fMRI

The United Kingdom’s University of Oxford is the world’s oldest English-language speaking university. The University purchased its first ADInstruments data acquisition system in 1990, and has since acquired in excess of 70 PowerLab systems.

Educators use PowerLab systems with both LabChart and LabTutor software to teach engineering, physiology and medical students. PowerLab systems are also used in the University-affiliated research centers located in the nearby John Radcliffe and Churchill Hospitals. Researchers at Oxford work across a range of disciplines, and use PowerLab systems in the departments of:

• Engineering Science
• Experimental Psychology
• Pharmacology

• Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics
• Plant Sciences
• Zoology

2010 - Dynamic monitoring of NET activity in mature murine sympathetic terminals using a fluorescent substrate

The University of Tokyo was established in 1877 as the first national university in Japan. As a leading research university, the University of Tokyo offers courses in essentially all academic disciplines at both undergraduate and graduate levels and conducts research across the full spectrum of academic activity.

The university is a long-term PowerLab user, producing many publications in prestigious research journals. PowerLab systems have been installed at Tokyo University's Graduate School of Medicine, in the departments of:

• Integrated Biosciences
• Intergrative Physiology
• Cell Biology
• Anaesthesiology
• Neurosurgery

• Cellular and Molecular Physiology
• Cardiovascular medicine
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
• Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
• Forensic Medicine

2010 - Transient effect of core stability exercises on postural sway during quiet standing

Established in 1853, the University of Melbourne is a public-spirited institution that makes distinctive contributions to society in research, teaching and knowledge transfer. Melbourne's teaching excellence has been rewarded two years in a row, by grants from the Commonwealth Government's Learning and Teaching Performance Fund for Australian universities that demonstrate excellence in undergraduate teaching and learning.

The University of Melbourne utilizes over 100 PowerLab systems for teaching and research in the following fields:

• Physiology
• Pharmacology
• Zoology
• Medicine
• Physiotherapy
• Optometry
• Exercise physiology

• Psychophysiology
• Chemistry
• Animal physiology
• Human bioscience
• Cardiology
• Neuroscience

Peking University was originally known as the Imperial University of Peking. Founded in 1898, it was the first national university covering comprehensive disciplines in China, and has been a leading institution of higher education in China since its establishment. 53 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), 7 members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), and 14 members of the Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) comprise just some of the staff found at this outstanding educational institute.

Peking University's Institute of Molecular Medicine, and the Pathophysiology and Pharmacology Departments (in the Health Science Center) use 21 PowerLab systems for Cardiovascular research. PowerLab systems  in School of Basic Medical Sciences are also used for teaching experiments that investigate:

• Physiology
• Pharmacology

• Pathophysiology
• Isolated tissue studies
