The letter-digit code is the electrode identifier and refers to the position of the electrode
in the 60-6wellMEA.
The specified amplifier pin numbers are the MEA-System channel numbers that are used
in the data acquisition program. The pin numbers 32, 61, 84, 67, 38, and 15 are grounded.

Important: Please insert the 60-6wellMEA into the MEA amplifier with the writing on the
MEA chip (in this example MCS) on the left side viewed from the front, with the sockets
of the MEA1060 amplifier or the articulation of the MEA2100 headstage in the back.
