Linear 16-Shank 16-Channel Probe, 2 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
Sixteen short shanks side by side, closely spaced for coverage within one structure, with sites spread evenly down each, one per row, for a profile across depth. Among the 371 probe designs in the design space it is in the lower quartile: 16 sites (a common choice — 84 of 369), 2 mm shanks (8th percentile of the 366 measured), a 0.02 mm-deep site array (2nd percentile), 903 sites/mm² (85th percentile) and a 0.33 mm³ neural interface (18th percentile).
Large sites read a wider patch at lower impedance, suited to field potentials and multi-unit activity. The short shanks suit superficial targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 12 package configurations. Silicon 15 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
