We provide the right device tailored to your project and budget, and ultimately, faster time-to market for Health Sciences applications.

Customer Deployments

Plexon logo

Plexon

Plexon developed the Optogenetic Controller, leveraging two custom boards created by the Plexon team, with an Opal Kelly FPGA module and USB interface.

The product includes four channels of programmable current drivers that can deliver in excess of 1.1 A each for driving high-powered LEDs. The high-powered LEDs in turn generate the light to do the optogenetic research.

Illinois University logo

University of Illinois

Cancer affects one in three people worldwide. Surgery remains the primary curative option for localized cancers, but good prognoses require complete removal of primary tumors and timely recognition of metastases.

To expand surgical capabilities and enhance patient outcomes, University of Illinois developed a six-channel color/near-infrared image sensor inspired by the mantis shrimp visual system that enabled near-infrared fluorescence image guidance during surgery.

Intant Technologies logo

Intan

The RHD2000 Evaluation System supports the Intan Technologies series of electrophysiology sensor devices, providing up to 64 unipolar sensor inputs and an optional accelerometer. The system software source code (C++ / Qt) is released as open source to encourage development with their sensor technology.

Tecella logo

Tecella

Tecella supplies HTS/UHTS measurement systems that accelerate and improve drug discovery and pre-clinical research. Opal Kelly’s FPGA modules are used in Tecella’s products for digital system control and data acquisition.
