Linear 4-Shank 32-Channel Probe, 2 mm
Silicon 3D probe platform — several 32-site 2D arrays, 64 to 256 channels, recording and stimulating
Four 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), 2 mm shanks (8th percentile of the 366 measured), a 0.71 mm-deep site array (36th percentile), 37 sites/mm² (15th percentile) and a 1.04 mm³ neural interface (73rd percentile).
Small sites read a local patch at higher impedance, sharpening single-unit isolation, spaced for a laminar profile. The short shanks suit superficial targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 19 package configurations, 2 of them microdrive-compatible. Built for the Matrix Array platform: this 2D array installs in a Matrix package slot and is not assembled in other packages. Silicon 15 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
