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 samples stimulated, same instrument count, lower cost per experiment.
Reproducible stimulation, across every well.
- Current-controlled delivery ensures every well receives the same precise dose — the foundation of reliable dose-response and force-frequency studies.
Works with what you already have.
- Any flat-bottom SBS plate, any tissue type, any readout system — including inverted optical microscopes. No lock-in required.
Flexible protocol design, without the complexity.
- Design, assign, and save up to 24 independent protocols running simultaneously. Waveform, frequency, schedule, and more. No scripting required.
Step by Step
- 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. One Platform.
Both models of Stingray deliver the same stimulation quality, software, and headless capability. Choose based on the scale your science demands today.
