Innovative Solutions for Neuroscience at SfN 2024
Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBIO) is poised to showcase its latest technological advancements at the highly anticipated Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2024 Annual Meeting. This prominent event, which will take place from October 5 to 9 in Chicago, will highlight several groundbreaking products designed to enhance neuroscience research.
Revolutionary Mesh MEA™ Microelectrode Array
Exploring Electrophysiology Inside Organoids
At the forefront of the display will be the MCS™ Mesh MEA™ organoid platform, a state-of-the-art microelectrode array designed to revolutionize how researchers study neural dynamics. Unlike traditional technologies, this new platform captures real-time electrophysiological signals directly from within organoids. This capability opens up exciting new avenues for understanding complex brain disorders.
The Mesh MEA platform is currently being assessed in select test sites aimed at neurological and cardiac research, alongside applications in safety pharmacology and toxicology. Early adoption shipments have already begun, with full-scale production expected by mid-2025.
Showcasing SoHo™ Implantable Telemetry
Real-Time Data Collection for Small Animal Models
Harvard Bioscience will also present its innovative SoHo implantable telemetry system. This real-time telemetry solution is tailored for small animal models, integrated seamlessly with the Ponemah™ data management platform. The SoHo system empowers users to efficiently collect, analyze, and report on findings from multiple small animal subjects housed together, enhancing the reliability and precision of behavioral and neurophysiological studies.
This system facilitates extended data collection periods, which is pivotal for longitudinal research, allowing scientists to gather deeper insights into the neurological phenomena they are studying.
VivaMARS™ – A Comprehensive Activity Monitoring System
Enhancing Behavioral Testing Efficiency
The VivaMARS system will also be showcased, providing users with a highly automated platform for behavioral testing in various research contexts. This includes neuropharmacology and safety-related studies. The VivaMARS system not only enhances the quality and efficiency of these tests but also significantly reduces operational costs and test cycle durations. During the conference, insights derived from collaboration with a key customer will be shared to illustrate the system's impact.
Comprehensive Neuroscience Research Solutions
Expanding Product Offerings
The exhibition will highlight an array of technologies, including the brand-new Heka™ patch clamp amplifiers, which are designed to refine the recording of rapid events, such as ion channel dynamics. Harvard Bioscience's offerings extend to a comprehensive suite for both in vitro and in vivo research, demonstrating their commitment to supporting the global neuroscience research community.
Exciting Expo at SfN 2024
Visitors can experience these innovative solutions firsthand at booth #925 during the conference, where Harvard Bioscience representatives will be eager to discuss the latest developments in neuroscience technology. The McCormick Place Convention Center will host this event, and the team will be available daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CDT starting Sunday.
