Lab Essentials

Check your consumables and stay prepared!

Having a well-stocked lab means you’re always ready for whatever research comes your way. Take a moment to check your supplies and ensure you have everything you need:

  • Alcohol wipes: Essential for cleaning the skin and ensuring high quality EMG signals.
  • Razors: Perfect for prepping the skin for sensor placement.
  • Gloves: Keep hygiene a top priority during your experiments.
  • Delsys adhesives: Make sure your sensors stay securely in place throughout your studies.

To easily maintain your research lab with all the necessary stocks, go to the Delsys Store to order Trigno Adhesives.

System Testing

To ensure your equipment is in top condition for the upcoming year, here’s some quick tips and best practices:

  • Sensor charging: We recommend plugging in your system and charging your sensors for 24-48 hours at least once a month. This helps maintain battery health and ensures everything is ready to go when you need it.
  • Physical inspections: Ensure there is no physical damage to the main sensor body or any cable attachments.
  • Battery testing: After charging your sensors overnight, start a data collection to test the longevity of your batteries to safeguard your research going forward.
