The Centre for Bio-Inspired Technology hosts a Medical Devices (MD) Laboratory comprehensively equipped for the development, test & measurement of biomedical circuits & systems.

This laboratory is comprehensively equipped for the development, testing and measurement of biomedical circuits and systems. Such devices often require low noise instrumentation operating at relatively low frequency and have ultra low power requirements. This facility includes instruments for semiconductor characterisation, equipment for time, frequency and impedance characterisation (e.g. oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, CV), instruments for low noise transimpedance and voltage amplification, signal generation, a semi-automatic probe station with laser for trimming and failure analysis, a temperature chamber, PCB rapid prototyping facility (LPKF-based), and all standard electronic test & measurement equipment.
