The add-ons on the Zantiks Optional Add-ons page can all still be used in the MWP Z2 and Z2S units.
The following add-ons are available for use exclusively with the Zantiks MWP Z2 and Zantiks MWP Z2S.
Extra light stimulation plate LED (LSP LEDs) colour 🡕
We offer a number of wavelength options including:
- Royal Blue (445 nm)
- Blue (470 nm)
- Green (530 nm)
- Amber (590 nm)
- Red (625 nm)
- Photo red (660 nm)
- White
Overhead light stimulation plate 🡕
- Can be used in addition to or instead of the standard light stimulation plate which is included as standard with the MWP system.
- The overhead light stimulation plate can be used in a number of cases including:
- Providing specific wavelengths of light from above rather than below.
- To increase the amount of light of a specific wavelength by using both light stimulation plates from above and below.
- Switching between two different wavelengths during an experiment. One wavelength can be provided from above and another wavelength from below.
Please see the Assembling the Overhead Light stimulation plate section of the manuals for full instructions on set up including video tutorial, connecting the LSP LED to the side socket and links to the appropriate Zanscript support pages.
Mechanical stimulation stand
A stand which delivers a vibration to any standard multi-well plate or Zantiks bioassay plate for sleep disturbance in Drosophila and to measure arousal thresholds.
5 second vibration stimuli from the mechanical stimulation stand holding a 96-well plate with Drosophila
5 second vibration stimuli from the mechanical stimulation stand holding a Zantiks custom plate for 32 DAM style tubes.
