CONNECTOR AND INSTALLATION WITH THIS CONNECTOR FOR CHRONIC STIMULATION OF ELECTRO-EXCITABLE CELLS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N27/00 G01N33/48 B01L3/00 G09B23/28 A61N1/05 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: connector for chronic stimulation of electro-excitable cells comprises a base and a lid configured to be sealed to each other, a microelectrode array made in the form of an array of metal microelectrodes formed on the substrate, with a tray for a culture of cells and with perimeter contact surfaces connected by conductive tracks with microelectrodes, and a board with a hole, with a projection, with pressure spring contacts, connected by conductive tracks. The base is formed with a hole for the board projection, the lid is formed with a hole covered with a filtering membrane, the microelectrode array is mounted on the bottom of the base. A board is installed above the microelectrode array. A tray with a cell culture is made protruding through the hole of the board. The board projection is made protruding from the perimeter of the base through the hole for the board projection and is connected to the external connector. The board pressure spring contacts are located coaxially with the contact areas of the microelectrode array with a possibility of interaction with them. An installation for chronic stimulation of electro-excitable cells, in which a connector is used, is disclosed.

EFFECT: provision of control of electro-excitable cells stimulation under sterile conditions of their development.
