Technical questions

Why are we getting a lot of noise in the signals?

Please refer to the complete guide on Tips for best signal acquisition to troubleshoot the issue.

I have purchased the BioAmp Hardware but where should I visualize the signals?

You can use our data visualization softwares like Chords Web or Chords Python.

Can we use BioAmp Hardware as a medical device?

BioAmp Hardware is not a medical device and cannot serve as a diagnostic tool, as it lacks the necessary medical certifications. However, it has been widely used by medical students and biomedical engineers in their college projects to develop proof-of-concepts for their ideas.

Can we use desktop for recording biopotential signals?

No, you must use a laptop that is not connected to a charger for visualizing biopotential signals. Desktop or PC cannot be used as as it's direct connection to the AC supply introduces a 50Hz interference noise into the signals.

Can we get a customized kit for our project?

You can mail us at contact@upsidedownlabs.tech with your requirements and we can figure out how we can help you.
