Abstract

This paper describes a new type of MCA (micro channel array) for simultaneous multipoint measurement of cellular network. Presented MCA is designed for advanced neural network analysis which has been studied by co-authors using 64 ch MEA (micro electrode arrays) system. First of all, sucking and clamping of cells through channels of developed MCA is expected to improve electrophysiological signal detections. Electrophysiological sensing electrodes integrated around individual channels of MCA are electrically isolated for simultaneous multipoint measurement.
