Neuroscience Lab Equipment and Tools

Our Products

Our unique equipment range of neuroscience lab equipment combines our own research and development with technology from other leading developers.

Our wide range of equipment and technology covers applications from imaging, electrophysiology and drug application.

We specialise in a number of areas and equipment types:

Optical Breadboards and Anti-Vibration Tables: Our MCI Air range of anti vibration systems offer top of the range quality at prices that suit the modern research budget.The range of breadboards and tables mean there is a solution for most electrophysiology and microscopy applications and labs.

Micromanipulators: Our CleverArm and EasyArm manipulators offer a solution for most types of applications. The CleverArm is a feature packed motorised micromanipulator and the EasyArm offers a solution for those not needing remote control. Both products offer high specification, stability and quality as well as exceptional value.

Optogenetics Light Sources: Our high quality range of light sources include the Polygon400 patterned illuminator as well as our own CleverExplore Illuminate Workstation and more. We offer fiber-coupled LEDs and high intensity LEDs for light sensitive protein activation. As with all our products we focus on quality and reliability alongside value and service.

Complete Electrophysiology Rig: Our CleverExplore workstations offer labs a complete electrophysiology workstation . We have selected a unique array of technology and created a solution that offers a flexible workstation for a broad range of research and applications. Because of the way we package this technology together we are able to offer these rigs in the same price range as other options on the market that have less capability.

The UK headquarters are based in the Innovation Stables, on a farm in the Southeast of England. This is supported by a satellite office on the incubation campus of Nanjing University in China. Not only does MCI offer the very best in neuroscience equipment and tools but we also pride ourselves on excellent customer service and great value. If you would like to discuss your budget requirements or any specifics about your neuroscience research and equipment needs for your lab then get in touch today.

Is it the end of ‘statistical significance’? The battle to make science more uncertain

Is it the end of ‘statistical significance’? The battle to make science more uncertain Valen E. Johnson, Texas A&M University The scientific world is abuzz following recommendations by two of the most prestigious scholarly journals – The American Statistician and Nature – that the term “statistical significance” be retired. In their introduction to the

How to See Your Proteins of Interest

A short guide to immunofluorescence (IF) experiments – from experimental design to imaging Visualizing your protein of interest so you can track it and understand it’s position within the cell or subcellular stuctures is an important part of life science research. The problem is, proteins are generally very small and are difficult to see

Fly SCAPE: 3D Imaging of Drosophila Nervous System In Vivo

High-speed, 3D SCAPE Microscope Captures Stunning, Live Videos of Fruit Fly Nerve Cells in Action. Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute, YouTube Columbia engineers and neuroscientists have joined forces to create 3D videos of individual nerve cells moving, stretching and switching on inside fruit fly larvae as they move. Data gleaned from these videos reveals

How did reading and writing evolve? Neuroscience gives a clue

Boys reading, Pixabay. Derek Hodgson, University of York The part of the brain that processes visual information, the visual cortex, evolved over the course of millions of years in a world where reading and writing didn’t exist. So it’s long been a mystery how these skills could appear some 5,000 years ago, with our

Black History Month: Black Scientists Who Changed the World

In honor of Black History Month, we at MCI Neuroscience wanted to take a look back at some of the black scientists who made the world what it is today and continue to change it. Garrett Augustus Morgan (1877 – 1963) Morgan is best known for his invention of the Safety Hood, or

Understanding Brain Evolution in a Dish

Salk scientists have made human and nonhuman primate neural progenitor cells to investigate brain development Nonhuman primate neurons mature faster and migrate further than human neurons Human neurons develop longer dendrites with greater spine densities Findings shed light on brain evolution Carol Marchetto and colleagues in Professor Rusty Gage’s lab at the Salk Institute,
