Biopac Student Lab

The Biopac Student Lab Advanced is an integrated set of hardware, software and curriculum materials that students use in undergraduate laboratories to record data from their own bodies, animals, or tissue preparations. The system includes over sixty-five complete lessons that educators use as part of practical lab courses. The BSL System features world-class hardware. BSL provides hardware with a research-grade data acquisition platforms with built-in universal amplifiers to record and condition electrical signals from the heart, muscle, nerve, brain, eye, respiratory system, and tissue preparations. The data acquisition system receives the signals from electrodes and transducers and connects to a PC running BSL software on Windows® or macOS®  operating systems.

BSL Systems are suitable for inquiry-based, active learning in 2-yr. and 4-yr. programs, medical schools, nursing, and STEM programs. Powerful setup and analysis tools also make the BSL ideal for graduate studies and personal research. For educators who need a fast and easy-to-implement teaching solution, who desire to increase student engagement, or who wish to customize their instruction or extend learning with advanced lessons, the Biopac Student Lab (BSL) is the recognized leader in life science teaching systems and is in use in top universities worldwide.

Includes Data Acquisition Unit with certified human-safe input channel(s), built-in amplifier(s), and a 5-year warranty. MP36 Systems provide four channels of input and built-in stimulator, MP46 units provide two channels, and MP41 provides one channel.

• BSL 4 software with interactive, guided lessons; extensive before-, during-, and after-lab student and educator support materials; and BSL PRO for advanced studies
• BSL Laboratory Manual
• Electrode lead set(s) with smart, “Simple Sensor” connectors
• Disposable electrodes
• Abrasive pads
• USB cable
• Power transformer

BSL software guides students through BSL lessons with full-color onscreen instructions, a detailed lab manual, and embedded procedure videos and data samples. “Smart” electrodes and transducers employ sensors that allow the software to communicate with them to ensure that the students are using the correct devices and collecting good data; it’s like having a teaching assistant in a box. Once students collect data, they use included software tools to measure the amplitude and frequency, plus a wide range of other values from the electrical signals. Students can compare their results to published normal values, or the values before and after a subject performed a specified task. They can even compare their results with other students in the lab, and completed data reports can be saved, placed in a DropBox® account, or emailed to instructors for review, or saved on a networked server.

• BSL MP36 Systems
  BSL MP36 4-Channel Systems provide dynamic lessons and support student-designed experiments for general lab use or specific disciplines. The Basic system can be used for physiology lab experiments including ECG, EEG, EMG, and EOG; you can easily add hardware later support more signal types. Advanced systems support additional guided lessons on human subjects and Ultimate  systems include animal labs. You can order transducers, stimulators, electrodes, and accessories a la carte to upgrade your system or create a customized system.
• BSL MP46 Systems—Power & Flexibility for limited budgets
  BSL MP46 2-Channel Systems are ideal for allied health programs and programs with very limited budgets. BSL MP46 Systems are also a great way to add a physiology component to other programs—psychology, biomedical engineering, and others. These low-cost systems feature the BIOPAC MP46 2-channel platform and the latest BSL software, along with accessories to conduct key lessons. Intro Systems run six lessons, and Health Sciences Systems provide 11 lessons in EMG, EEG, ECG, and EOG, and other physiological signals. BSL MP46 Systems are ready-to-teach out of the box and drive student engagement and active learning.
• BSL MP41 Systems—Bring Your Lab to Your Students
  BSL MP41 1-channel “Home” Systems allow students to safely conduct hands-on physiology labs outside of a school lab, in their own home, dorm room, or any remote location. Buy BSL Home systems or use the “Learn & Return” program to provide a practical lab component to students outside of the lab.
