Extracellular recordings that are supported include: single or multiple unit recordings, whole nerve recordings, field potentials, and epithelial voltage clamping.
Extracellular research measures and characterizes the electrical properties of cells and tissues, particularly neurons and neuronal tissue. Measurements are usually performed either in the extracellular fluid near the cell of interest, or non-invasively. These measurements can be divided into three main groups, which include single/multiple unit recordings, whole nerve recordings, and extracellular field potentials. Epithelial voltage clamping recording can also be classified under extracellular recordings.
Easily acquire and analyze extracellular potentials from nerves and brain slices, and seamlessly assess conscious neural activity, extracellular spikes, and extracelllular field potentials, by using a combination of the PowerLab 35 series and our extracellular neural amplifiers.

Data with Integrity
High-performance data acquisition hardware designed for life science research. PowerLab is engineered for precise, consistent, reliable data acquisition, giving you the reproducible data you need while meeting the strictest international safety standards.
LabChart software is designed specifically for life science data and provides up to 32 channels for data display and analysis options that are powerful and easy to use. With auto-recognition of ADI and LabChart Compatible hardware, multi-window views, one touch recording, simultaneous recording from multiple devices, specialized preconfigured settings, easy sharing options and an interface that can be customized to show only the features you want to use.
This data was recorded from an extracellular microelectrode. The resulting action potentials are analyzed using the Spike Histogram Add-On; a histogram of the amplitudes and other analyses for both units are displayed.
This is a common issue in electrophysiology as you are dealing with very small signals as well as high impedance and capacitance of electrodes. All of ADInstruments hardware is optimized with high-quality noise specifications, but it is always good to have a few other tricks up your sleeve to help in your setup.
Additional acquisition and analysis features and add-ons to support your Extracellular studies:
The Peak Analysis Module for LabChart provides automatic detection and analysis of multiple, non-overlapping, signal peaks.
