Methodologies for Detecting Quantal Exocytosis in Adrenal Chromaffin Cells Through Diamond-Based MEAs

Diamond-based multiarray sensors are suitable to detect in real-time exocytosis and action potentials from cultured, spontaneously firing chromaffin cells, primary hippocampal neurons, and midbrain dopaminergic neurons. Here, we focus on how amperometric measurements of catecholamine release are performed on micrographitic diamond multiarrays (μG-D-MEAs) with high temporal and spatial resolution by 16 electrodes simultaneously.
