ARTMEM    In 1993, a second complementary interactive teaching program, ARTMEM was released (see Annals Biomed. Eng. 22: 218-215, 1994). It was designed to simulate an experiment which illustrated how membrane potentials are set up across an ion-selective artificial membrane and would be a good first introduction to membrane potentials, prior to using the MEMPOT program. By 2000 it had been purchased by about 20 universities in at least 10 different countries. Further details can be obtained by e-mailing p.barry@unsw.edu.au.

A full Windows version of ArtMem, ArtMem for Windows (ArtMemW) was completed in 2000 by E. Crawford in conjunction with Professor P H Barry at the University of New South Wales and has since had a few minor upgrades.  

The cost of the program, with Instructor's Manual, Student's Notes and departmental site license is US$395  for the first program (e.g., this  program) and US$200 each for either of the other two programs, MEMPOT and MEMCABLE.  This program should also run with Apple Macintosh computers provided they have a fully compatible Windows/DOS emulation package.  

A special upgrade price from the DOS to the full Windows version is also available.
