A biological amplifier using N-channel and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices has been described. Its high input impedance and excellent common mode rejection ratio suit it well to surface and wire EMG research. Its low cost and ease of assembly make it a desirable choice for student use.
