MaxOne Tissue Holder

One of the biggest challenge to obtain reproducible results within electrophysiological recordings with acute brain slices or retina is a proper attachment of the tissue on the electrode array. Enter MaxOne Tissue Holder.

The MaxOne Tissue Holder is a reliable tool to flatten the tissue onto the MaxOne MEA sensor area during recordings and maintain the tissue’s placement throughout the experiment. It allows for simple plugin of perfusion systems, whose outlet tubes can be mounted on top of the MaxOne’s magnetic plate.  The Tissue Holder also allows access to take images of the sample and to project light stimuli for retina or optogenetics studies.

MaxOne Perfusion System



The MaxWell Biosystem’s Perfusion System allows for acute recordings to be conducted on the bench: with an inflow port and an inline heater, samples will receive constant fresh, heated and oxygenated media throughout recordings. With the outflow port, media will stay at a steady and consistent level for the whole duration of the experiment.

Particularly indicated for brain slices or retina explant recordings, our sleek and compact perfusion system is compatible with MaxWell Biosystems Tissue Holder and can be coupled with pumps or used with gravity flow. The perfusion system includes two magnetic holders, inflow and outflow ports, tubing, tube adaptors and inline heater.

MaxOne DigiPins


The MaxWell Biosystem’s DigiPins enable synchronization between a PC and the MaxOne Recording Unit.
