Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are critical tools in electrophysiology, enabling the capture of spatially distinct electrophysiological events in both in vitro and in vivo contexts.

These arrays provide insight into the behavior and responses of cell cultures, organs and organoids, whether observed over time or in response to external stimuli. Select MEAs even have the ability to target specific regions with electrical stimuli and record the subsequent response.
