A general-purpose system for long-term recording from a microelectrode array coupled to excitable cells

A PC-based system for acquisition and processing of data from excitable cells on a microelectrode array is described. Simple and low-cost amplification and filtering custom stages are used. A software package for processing acquired data is proposed.
