Linear Single-Shank 32-Channel Probe, 6 mm
Sites spread along the shank — linear and edge layouts for depth profiling
A single mid-length 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: 32 sites (a common choice — 155 of 369), 6 mm shanks (60th percentile of the 366 measured), a 1.58 mm-deep site array (77th percentile), 683 sites/mm² (71st percentile) and a 0.55 mm³ neural interface (43rd percentile).
Large sites read a wider patch at lower impedance, suited to field potentials and multi-unit activity, spaced for a laminar profile. The mid-length shank reaches structures a few millimetres down.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 24 package configurations, 2 of them microdrive-compatible. Silicon 15 or 50 µm thick. Z-coat available. Optical stimulation runs from a separate laser or LED source. Research use only.
