We manufacture customizable 32-channel microwire array and optrodes in our Nanjing, China facility. The built-to-order devices are repeatedly used by rodent laboratories worldwide for in vivo extracellular recording of high-quality single- and multi-units and field potentials as well as delivering energy (electrical, magnetic, optical) to inhibit or excite local neural circuits. Strict adherence to our surgical protocol for device implantation and recommendations for ground & reference configurations ensure high-quality neural recordings with little to no artifacts when monitoring freely-behaving small animals such as mice or rats. Our arrays and optrodes are attractive alternatives to popular, expensive options and are increasingly the preferred choice for behavioral neuroscience studies based on small-animal models.
With the help of our trusted and reliable partner, Microprobes for Life Science (Gaithersburg, MD), we're able to meet even the most demanding and complex electrode and optrode requirements. Example solutions include 1) recording from a few electrodes arrays in the moter cortex of an anesthetized mouse while it's exposed to a battery of visual stimlui, 2) implanting a large behaving animal with hundreds of tiny sensors and probes in different brain regions and depths to determine neural correlates of behavior changes caused by light manipulation of specific brain circuits and 3) nerve-cuff interface for evalulating various candidates techniques for reparing a damaged peripheral nerve. Some special customer applications are best served by custom designs. Bio-Signal and Microprobes for Life Science have the expertise and experience to delivery solutions on-time and on-budget. As a convenience for customers who prefer-shopping at a one-stop ship, you're able to purchase Microprobes for Life Science products directly from us for the same price.

are perfect for precision rodent electrophysiology.
Floating MEAs (FMAs) are affordable alternatives to Utah MEAs.
​are ideal for interfacing with neuronal pools.
Microwire Arrays ​(MWAs) are the most affordable option for rodent studies.
Linear Microelectrode Arrays (LMAs) are ideal for laminar samplig of neural tissue.
FMAs, MBAs and LMAs are available in two configurations: 1) chronic: floating arrays that move with instead of relative to neural tissue and 2) acute: mountable arrays that can be attached to a micropositioner (acutes studies). Acute arrays are re-usable with lifetimes dependant on the level of care when handling and cleaning.
Portable, battery-powered recording system for basic neurophysiology studies. Perfect for monitoring brain signals while positioning to target brain regon. Supports up to 64 electrodes.
Turnkey, precision eye tracking. Track gaze (x,y) and pupil size (arousal) up to 1,000 FPS. Robust against pupil occlusions. Real-time link to Monkey Logic and MATLAB. OEM licensing availalble.
