Neural Probes · A-Series (Polytrode & Tetrode)
2-Shank 48-Channel Probe, 9.217 mm
Sites clustered rather than spread — polytrode and tetrode groups a sorter can separate
Two long shanks side by side, with sites staggered in two columns so neighbouring sites see the same units. Among the 371 probe designs in the design space it is mid-range: 48 sites (73rd percentile), 9.2 mm shanks (67th percentile of the 366 measured), a 2.37 mm-deep site array (85th percentile), 200 sites/mm² (47th percentile) and a 0.86 mm³ neural interface (62nd percentile).
Small sites read a local patch at higher impedance, sharpening single-unit isolation, spaced for a laminar profile. The long shanks reach deep targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 3 package configurations. Silicon 15 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
