B-Alert X24 EEG Headset

B-Alert X24 applies all sensors of the standard International 10-20 system simultaneously for efficient set-ups while also providing every subject a comfortable and individualized fit. Featuring the same high-quality signals as Stat X24 though labeled for non-medical applications, the system enables quantitative analysis techniques such as single-trial ERPs, LORETA/sLORETA, functional connectivity, and global brain assessments. All hardware is readily reusable with easy cleaning for repeated recordings in high throughput studies. From biomarker development to neurorehabilitation, B-Alert X24 is enhanced by a suite of robust softwares to make this the most versatile wireless-EEG system available.

Millipore-Sigma Milli-Q Direct 8

The Millipore-Sigma Milli-Q Direct 8 water purification system is housed in Dr. Robert Kellar’s lab and provides the highest quality research-grade water for researchers on the second floor of the Wettaw Biochemistry Building. The system produces 2 types of pure water from tap water: Type 3 pure water (reverse osmosis, multiple use) which is stored in a 60L reservoir and serves as the feed water for polishing filters to produce Type I ultrapure (highest quality) water, essential to research in analytical applications (GC, HPLC, LCMS, and other highly sensitive instruments) and life science work (molecular biology, protein work, cell culture, drug discovery, implants, etc.).

PMD-661 MKIII Encrypted Recorders

PMD-661 MKIII Encrypted Recorders

The PMD-661 MKIII is a 2-channel handheld solid-state audio recorder. With its uncompromisingly high performance and rugged build quality, the PMD-661 MKIII gives news journalists, court/municipal reporters, public safety personnel, investigators and researchers a professional device that produces accurate, detailed in-field recordings. Plus, its file-encryption function offers the maximum security for sensitive information. It’s ideal for situations where no-compromise audio data capture is required, but bulky equipment and separate microphones are not possible or appropriate.

Details Accordion Closed

The hardware feature set includes an integrated high-quality stereo condenser microphone array for ‘point and shoot’ operation, switchable balanced mic/XLR line inputs, as well as unbalanced line outputs on RCA connectors and a secondary unbalanced line input on 3.5 mm mini jack connector. In addition, the PMD661MKIII includes an external, omni-directional boundary microphone, perfect for meeting capture at a boardroom table. The PMD661MKIII also includes a rugged and practical carrying case to protect the recorder.

Compatibility with SDHC media means cards up to 32 GB in size can be used. In addition, the new built in ‘SD Card Check’ makes it easy and convenient to insert any SD card and check compatibility. High capacity media storage is matched by six hours of recording time from four AA Alkaline / Ni-MH batteries. Drag and drop file transfer is supported via the USB port.

Furthermore, the ‘Retake’ feature allows a simple button press to take you back though the previously recorded audio and create a drop-in point to overdub. This enables easy re-recording part way through unwanted takes ideal for dictation and electronic note gathering applications.
The PMD661 MKIII comes standard with password protection and file encryption ability that work hand in hand to keep recordings safe form unauthorized access. MP3 files can be encrypted to .MPS files and WAV files encrypted to .WAS files. Both MPS and WAS files utilize a 4-digit password protection feature so that only those with the 4-digit key can open and play the files.

Applications include (but are not limited to) broadcast, electronic news gathering/journalism, DSLR video, sound effects capture, law enforcement, municipal and court recording, government and surveillance, musicians, dictation for law, medical, education, and meeting recording.
