Vector Single-Shank 64-Channel Probe, 10 mm
Short silicon array on a rigid support body — deep targets in large animals
A single long shank 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: 64 sites (a common choice — 68 of 369), 10 mm shanks (a common choice — 79 of 363), a 1.59 mm-deep site array (78th percentile), 693 sites/mm² (73rd percentile) and a 0.58 mm³ neural interface (47th 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 long shank reaches deep targets.
Orders as a probe-plus-package assembly, in 4 package configurations. Silicon 50 µm thick. Z-coat available. Research use only.
