Data Hardware & Software Platforms

Data acquisition hardware and software requirements vary widely based on experiment protocol, classroom setup, field studies, etc. BIOPAC data acquisition hardware platforms support wired, wireless, and fMRI setups, for human or animal subjects, with powerful, intuitive data software for research and teaching applications. Use with a variety of amplifiers, stimulators, triggers, transducers, gas analysis modules, and/or electrodes to acquire life science signals, including ECG, EEG, EOG, EMG, EGG, EDA, Respiration, Pulse, Temperature, Impedance Cardiography, Force, Accelerometry, Goniometry, Dynamometry, Gyro, and more. Combine data hardware for multi-subject or multi-parameter protocols.

Research hardware platforms are fully-integrated with AcqKnowledge® data acquisition software, which provides automated routines for data scoring, measurement, and reporting, and can support multiple hardware units. Teaching platforms include Biopac Student Lab software with media-rich tutorial style guide lessons for specified objectives, plus active learning options for student-designed experiments and advanced analysis.

Wired (tethered) data acquisition hardware platforms include the MP150 and MP36R Research Systems. The MP150 16-channel system with universal amplifier provides high resolution (16 bit), high-speed acquisition (400 kHz aggregate) with16 analog inputs and two analog outputs, digital I/O lines (to automatically control other TTL level equipment), and online calculation channels. The MP36R 4-channel research system with built-in amplifiers provides four analog inputs and one analog output, I/O port for digital devices, calculation channels, trigger port, headphone jack, and electrode impedance checker. The MP36R supports software-controlled amplifiers and calculation channels.

Wireless data hardware includes options for live or logged data:
BioNomadix wireless, wearable physiology monitoring devices noninvasively record high-quality, full-bandwidth data while comfortably allowing subjects to move freely in natural indoor environments. Digital transmission and transducers placed close to the signal source provide excellent signal quality. Record up to 16 channels of BioNomadix data with a BIOPAC MP150 System—the system also works with multiple MP150 systems or third-party data acquisition hardware via an isolated power supply module. 

Mobita® 32-channel wearable wireless systems are ideal for biopotential applications that demand subject mobility and data logging. The Mobita EEG System uses water electrodes—no skin prep or gels required. Record live data into AcqKnowledge or log to an internal storage card for later upload into AcqKnowledge; modes are easily switched to suit specific protocols.

B-Alert X10® Wireless Systems provide nine channels of high fidelity EEG plus ECG, and data software for cognitive state metrics software is available. The stand-alone system easily interfaces with MP150 Research System to synchronize with other physiological data.

BioHarness® with AcqKnowledge is a lightweight, non-restrictive data logger and telemetry system to monitor, record, and analyze a variety of physiological parameters, including ECG, respiration, posture, and acceleration.

Stellar® Small Animal Telemetry Licenses with AcqKnowledge control wireless data acquisition from Stellar Implantable Telemetry Systems. The easy-to-configure Animal Scheduler works for a subset or complete group of conscious, unrestrained small animals for long term recordings. Multiple display modes can be viewed simultaneously, and signal conditioning tools (e.g., filtering and artifact removal) can be applied.


These and other BIOPAC data hardware and software solutions are used in thousands of labs worldwide and cited in thousands of publications. Learn more about research systems and teaching systems.
