- Product# ML1001
Electronic Stimulator
The ML1001 Electronic Stimulator is designed to provide electrical stimulation in physiological and pharmacological research experiments. The Electronic Stimulator provides options for single pulse, paired pulse, pulse train and repeat pulse operation. Biphasic stimuli are also supported. The stimulator is equipped with a booster amplifier to allow field stimulation with a maximum output of 50V. Input terminals also allow signal mixing and modulation with an external signal.
