The IDAC (Intelligent Data Acquisition Controller) systems are software controlled signal acquisition systems containing programmable amplifiers and filters, optimised for EAG, SSR, and GC-EAD/SSR recording.
Manipulators are necessary for making contact with small and delicate preparations. Different versions are available. From relatively simple systems to record from an insect antenna (EAG) to very delicate and high precision motorized systems to record from individual sensillae.
Headstages and probes are the interfaces between the signal source (insect preparation) and the IDAC acquisition system. The probes can be connected directly to the input of an IDAC system. More…
Stimulus controllers
Stimulus Controller CS 55 with built-in air pumps. Suitable for EAG and GC/EAD and SSR. Including foot operated start switch. Delivers continuous and pulsed air flow. Graphic LCD display.
The Taste probe DTP-02, is a further development of the special amplifier that permits reliable DC recordings from insect taste receptors using the Hodgson (1955) technique.
Compact device with built-in power supply and adjustable output voltage 1 – 12 V. Electrode clamp on vertical positioner and adjustable clamp for carbon electrode and glass solution vial.
In applications as GC-EAD and GC-SSR recordings an antenna or Single Sensilum acts as a detector for active fractions in the effluent of a gas chromatograph (GC). This requires a suitable effluent splitter to be installed in the GC to apply part of the effluent to the insect preparation.
