Linear Single-Shank 16-Channel Probe, 12 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
A single long shank with sites spread evenly down the shank, one per row, for a profile across depth. Among the 371 probe designs in the design space it is mid-range: 16 sites (a common choice — 84 of 369), 12 mm shanks (93rd percentile of the 366 measured), a 0.63 mm-deep site array (33rd percentile), 978 sites/mm² (87th percentile) and a 0.3 mm³ neural interface (12th percentile).
Large sites read a wider patch at lower impedance, suited to field potentials and multi-unit activity, spaced for a laminar profile. The long shank reaches deep targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 4 package configurations. Silicon 15 or 50 µm thick. Z-coat available. Optical stimulation runs from a separate laser or LED source. Research use only.
