Product description

16-bit, multi-channel data acquisition system with 1 GHz processor, USB 2.0 and expandable memory for real-time control.

The CED 1401 series, developed by Cambridge Electronic Design, comprises high-performance data acquisition interfaces designed for precise and efficient signal recording and analysis in laboratory settings. These systems are integral to capturing waveform data, digital events, and marker information, while simultaneously generating outputs for real-time, multi-tasking experimental control.

Key features include:

  • High-resolution data acquisition with 16-bit waveform input channels, ensuring accurate signal capture.
  • Advanced processing capabilities, featuring processors up to 1 GHz and onboard memory expandable to 2 GB, facilitating complex on-line analyses.
  • Flexible input and output ranges, with software-selectable ±5V or ±10V options to accommodate diverse experimental requirements.
  • Seamless synchronisation with multiple CED 1401 units, enabling large-scale, accurately timed data collection.
  • High-speed USB 2.0 connectivity for efficient data transfer and integration with host computers.
  • Expandable architecture, allowing for system upgrades and integration of specialist signal processing modules.

These interfaces are widely utilised in various scientific domains, including neuroscience, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering, and biotechnology. They are particularly valuable in applications such as neuroimaging, live-cell imaging, gene editing, and synthetic biology research.

Commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments, the CED 1401 series has been a cornerstone in scientific research since its initial release. The latest model, the Power1401-3A, continues to be actively used, reflecting its enduring relevance and adaptability to evolving research needs.

Cambridge Electronic Design's commitment to innovation ensures that the CED 1401 series remains a trusted solution for researchers seeking reliable and versatile data acquisition systems.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
