Stretchable Micro-Electrode Arrays for Electrophysiology

A potential serious side effect of drugs is cardiotoxicity which can result in lethal heart arrhythmias. Cardiotoxicity has been the leading cause of drug withdrawals from the market in the past decades, and has been responsible for costly failures in late stage clinical trials. This highlights the unmet need in the pharmaceutical industry for...

A Platform for Manufacturable Stretchable Micro-electrode Arrays

A platform for the batch fabrication of pneumatically actuated Stretchable Micro-Electrode Arrays (SMEAs) by using state-of-the-art micro-fabrication techniques and materials is demonstrated. The proposed fabrication process avoids the problems normally associated with processing of thin film structures on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), by first...
