Incub8™ Multiwell MEA System

Assessment: Uncover More with Every Experiment

Incub8™ allows for optical and electrophysiological data in a single recording, giving researchers a more complete view of cellular events. This means:

• Cross-validation of results
• Stronger, more reliable conclusions
• Improved predictive value for drug screening and mechanistic research

You’ll benefit from the temporal precision of MEA technology alongside the spatial resolution of live-cell imaging—in one experiment.

Performing two assays at once saves time, samples, and reagents—streamlining your workflow without compromising quality.

• Reduced consumables and compound use
• Less hands-on time
• Accelerated timelines
• Lower overall costs

Unlike other MEA systems, Incub8 records inside a humidified CO₂ incubator.

• No disruptions from moving plates in and out of controlled environments
• Reduced biological variability
• More reproducible, translatable results
• Fewer samples and replicates required

Ideal for:

• Safety & toxicity studies
• Developmental biology
• Circadian rhythm research
• Sensitive cell models (e.g., iPSC-derived cells and organoids)
• And other applications

Throughput Without Compromise

• 24- or 96-well plates available
• Connect up to 8 headstages simultaneously
• Record up to 768 samples at once

By testing all wells under identical conditions, you’ll gain higher reproducibility and better outcomes—while Incub8’s compact size allows for multiple headstages to fit inside an incubator.

Incub8-Screen Software is built for flexibility and regulatory-ready workflows:

• Easy to learn, supports standard & advanced protocols
• Automated signal analysis with derived parameters
• Barcode tracking for complete traceability
• Neuronal, cardiac, and compound screening modules included

Key Benefits:

• Programmable timer function for long-term experiments, eliminating the need to move or insert plates manually
• Online screening tool for data acquisition, automated signal analysis, and enhanced data processing
• Offline analysis tool for in-depth data analysis and report generation

Set up Incub8 where you need it:

• Inside an incubator
• On the benchtop
• On upright or inverted microscopes

TTL-based integration makes it simple to sync with third-party devices for complex, multiparametric experiments—without hours of manual dataset alignment.

• Active Heating Plates & CO₂ Control Modules: Experimental conditions outside the incubator
• AccuTemp Stabilizer Plates: Minimize temperature differences within the plate with <0.5°C temperature gradient
• Optimized Multiwell Plates: Designed for seamless electrophysiology + optical assessment
• VariPlate Base Adapter: Supports standard Multi Channel Systems MEA plates for added flexibility
