Model 4000 Multirecord High Density Recording Package

Key Features:

• High channel counts: 124 channels over a 6-line commutator
• Cost effective: 62 channels of data for under $650 per channel
• Range of applications: evoked responses, field potentials, EEG, ECG/EKG, ERG, EMG

Is the number of neural data channels you can record limited by the size of your commutator?

You wish to record more than 30 channels, but you're stuck at just two. Or maybe you'd like to record up to 217 channels from an animal that is awake and acting, but you can't afford to build a special commutator that would allow you to do so?

You are free to record anything you want, indefinitely! Using the recently developed MultiRecord System!

Use a simple commutator to record a high number of channels:

• 31 Channels over a 3-line commutator!
• 62 channels over a 4 line commutator!
• 124 channels over a 6-line commutator!

Cost Effective!

• 31 channels of neural data for under $1,000 per channel
• 62 channels of neural data for under $650 per channel

Ideal for a broad range of research:

• Single-Unit Recording
• Multi-Unit Recording
• Evoked Responses
• Field Potentials
• EEG
• ECG / EKG
• ERG
• EMG

Together with industry pioneers Triangle BioSystems and Datawave Technologies, A-M Systems is able to provide you with a high-density extracellular recording system that is both comprehensive and user-friendly.

By utilizing a simple commutator, the MultiRecord system may record from 31 to 247 channels concurrently from animals that are in free motion. For example, the inventive use of multiplexing technology in the TBSI headstage package allows for a 31-channel system with only a 3-line commutator. Must record from sixty-two channels? Then, a 4-line commutator will suffice instead of an expensive, specially designed 62-line commutator. There are numerous alternatives for commutators. To find out which commutator best suits your needs, please get in touch with us.

Prior to the commutator, the analog output is multiplexed by the special TBSI headstage, which then resorts the data to distinct channels.

The signals are then routed to the A-M Systems Model 4000 amplifier, where the Datawave Technologies SciWorks Data Acquisition and Analysis package's user-set control panels are used to adjust the signals' amplified and filtered characteristics. 

SciWorks® Experimenter allows users to create complex stimulation patterns, write data to a variety of widely used industry-defined data formats, and perform real-time data analysis, including multi-unit spike sorting and separation. Processes for data analysis and acquisition are smoothly combined into one software program. Without needing to switch software programs, users may specify how the experiment should be conducted, gather data, use complex analysis tools, and save both raw and processed data simultaneously.

Any laboratory will be able to use high-density extracellular recording in awake, behaving animals using the MultiRecord System without having to pay US$100,000.

On request, the LabVIEW SDK and drivers for MATLAB® are available.
