You provide the neurons;
we provide the platforms.
Full-stack: probes, instruments & software.
From organoids to patients.
Probes and grids for every target
Silicon probes in 210+ catalog designs and 2,000+ variants, and thin-film polymer grids in 50+ designs and 200+ variants, for electrical, optical and chemical work in acute and chronic studies.
Radiens software
Acquire, analyze, and curate in one platform. Radiens reads data from any vendor, scales from one workstation up, and is free at the Standard tier.
From plug-in components to integrated, plug-and-play toolchains
Probes and packages designed to fit your neural targets, low-code and no-code software, and compatibility across vendors and platforms.
Bench-to-bedside applications across neuroscience, in vivo and in vitro
Basic and applied research, brain-computer interfaces, and intra-operative and chronic work, in rodents, non-human primates, humans, organoids, fruit flies, zebrafish and more.
Neural probes & grid electrodes matched to your target, modality, and signal
210+ designs and 2,000+ variants, in silicon and polymer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right probe and system for my experiment?
Start from whatever is fixed first: browse electrodes by target, modality, or signal, or use the Product Finder to go from your requirements to a matched configuration. Solution Bundles pair probes, acquisition, and accessories that work together as a starting point you customize, and application scientists will help you equip the study end to end.
What is NeuroNexus?
NeuroNexus is a full-stack electrophysiology company that designs neural probes, instruments, and software engineered together — from the electrode to the answer. Founded in 2004 as a University of Michigan spin-out, it is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Its technology spans in vivo, in vitro, and clinical research, from organoids to patients.
What products does NeuroNexus make?
NeuroNexus makes silicon probes, thin-film grids, matched data-acquisition systems, and Radiens software for acquisition through analysis. The probe catalog spans 210+ designs and 2,000+ variants, from 4 to 1,024+ channels. Acquisition systems include XDAQ and Smartbox, and probes can be custom-built to a study's requirements.
What research applications and model systems does NeuroNexus support?
NeuroNexus probes and systems support in vivo, in vitro, and clinical electrophysiology. In vivo targets include cortex, deep brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and cardiac; in vitro covers organoids and brain slice. They are used across species from fruit flies to non-human primates, in both acute and chronic studies.
Can NeuroNexus make custom neural probes?
Yes — NeuroNexus designs custom neural probes to a study's specification, including geometry, materials, and packaging. A custom design fits the neural target rather than being chosen from a catalog alone. This suits unusual targets, chronic timelines, and multimodal (electrical, optical, chemical) needs.
What is the Radiens software platform?
Radiens is NeuroNexus's electrophysiology software, and Radiens Standard is free. It acquires, analyzes, and curates neural data with your data staying home, reads many vendors' formats, and scales from a single workstation upward. Allego — its acquisition app — is free with every NeuroNexus system. Full details and a free download are at radiens.ai.
