Stingray™
Biology is complex.
Stimulation shouldn't be.
Stingray runs in vitro electrical stimulation autonomously — so your measurement instrumentation stays free for what it does best.
Stimulate more. Measure more.
Stingray delivers high-throughput in vitro electrical stimulation autonomously — in or out of the incubator, across 3D tissues, organoids, and 2D cultures.
Do more science without more hardware.
- More stimulated samples, same instrument count, lower cost per sample.
Reproducible stimulation, across every well.
- Every well receives precise current-controller dose for reliable stimulation-induced contractility measurements.
Works with what you already have.
- Any flat-bottom SBS plate, tissue type or readout system – including inverted microscopes. No lock-in required.
Flexible protocol design, without the complexity.
- Design, save, and run up to 24 independent protocols simultaneously. Choose waveform, frequency, schedule and more. No scripting required.
Without disrupting your workflow.
- Prepare Your Samples
Set up your cells or tissues in 24- or 96-well plates. -
Stingray Stimulates
Headless, autonomous, in or out of the incubator. -
Swap When Ready
Move plates to Mantarray or Nautilai for recording. -
Measure & Decide
Functional readouts from conditioned samples. - Stingray Continues
Stimulation runs on remaining plates while you record.
Supported by an Entire Ecosystem
Mantarray™
24-well direct force measurement from conditioned 3D tissues. Transfer plates from Stingray to Mantarray when you're ready to record contractility.
Nautilai™ & Nautilai Plus™
Multimodal functional readouts — contractility, calcium, voltage and more — at scales up to 1536 wells. Pair with Stingray for stimulation during recording.
Consumables
24-well and 96-well Stingray plates, electrical stimulation lids, and optional optical stimulation lids.
Two Models. Same High Quality.
Choose the Stingray model that best scales your science.
96 wells in parallel
One full 96-well plate
Four 24-well plates
24 wells in parallel
One 24-well plate
Upgrade path to 96-well
Both models include
- 24 independent protocols
