Linear 16-Shank 32-Channel Probe, 3 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
Sixteen short shanks side by side, 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 mid-range: 32 sites (a common choice — 155 of 369), 3 mm shanks (a common choice — 37 of 363), a 0.03 mm-deep site array (3rd percentile), 457 sites/mm² (65th percentile) and a 0.73 mm³ neural interface (60th percentile).
Small sites read a local patch at higher impedance, sharpening single-unit isolation, packed densely enough to track a unit across neighbouring sites. The short shanks suit superficial targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 4 package configurations. Silicon 15 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
