HOLLISTON, Mass., Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq: HBIO) today announced that it will be showcasing its latest product innovations at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2024 Annual Meeting being held October 5 - 9 in Chicago. Cutting-edge innovations on display include the revolutionary new Mesh MEA™ microelectrode array system, the SoHo™ implantable telemetry platform, and the VivaMARS™ activity monitoring system.
MCS™ Mesh MEA™ Organoid Platform
The Company will exhibit its organoid-centric mesh Microelectrode Array (MEA) platform, which continues to gain traction among the scientific and therapy development communities. Unlike traditional technologies, the new Mesh MEA organoid platform captures electrophysiology signals from inside the organoid in real time, providing researchers with exciting new insights into complex neural dynamics and brain disorders.
The Mesh MEA platform is currently being evaluated at select test sites for neurological and cardiac research in addition to safety pharmacology and toxicology applications. The Company has also begun limited quantity shipments to early adopters, with full production expected in the first half of 2025.
