Combined Pulse/Train Stimulator (4 channels)

Overview:

The CS200 Combined Pulse/Train Stimulator (4 channels) is a four channel pulse/train current (0-200mA) stimulator designed for use with myograph and tissue-organ baths, where electrical stimulation is required and is optimized for in vitro muscle stimulation.

The CS200 stimulator provides a variety of stimulation mode choices such as single, continuous and frequency regulated steps. The latter is particularly useful when evaluating the vascular neuro-muscular junction.

Myograph field stimulation studies will require special chamber covers (purchased separately) to place the electrodes. Please contact your nearest ADInstruments representative for more information.
 

Features:

• Specially designed for use with myograph systems requiring current stimulation
• Enables a variety of stimulation mode choices
• User friendly
  • All protocol parameters are easily entered from the front panel
  • Can be applied on a custom basis or to all channels
  • Programmed protocols can be stored in one of the five internal program memories and are easily reloaded
• Easy to connect to a computer using the standard RS232 serial interface
• Multiple connections (up to four stimulators or via myograph systems) are supported using the RS485 connection without needing any additional amplifiers

Applications:

For in vitro tissue stimulation including

• vascular smooth muscle stimulation
• producing controlled perivascular or tissue embedded neurotransmitter release
