The dDrive is NeuroNexus’ solution for cost-effective chronic recording experiments. It features similar capabilities as the reusable nDrive, but is designed to be used for just one implantation, simplifying your prep.
The entire dDrive assembly (with probe) can be sterilized, and it arrives assembled and ready for your surgery. The simplicity of the dDrive makes it ideal for both beginners and experienced users recording with NeuroNexus’ chronic probes.
The dDrive-m has a drive range of 2.5 mm, while the dDrive-xL (Extended Length) features a range of 7 mm. The 2016 dDrive utilizes a screw drive with even finer resolution than before, making a depth
alteration of 150 μm with one complete turn. Also included with the dDrive are an easy to use connector holder and an adaptor that interfaces to your stereotaxic system.
