Drug delivery & MR-Compatible probes

Product Code: 61

Drug delivery

The E16-20mm-100-177 electrode array can be mounted on a fluidic tube to combine drug delivery and electrophysiological recording. The fluidic tube is mounted on the lower side of the microelectrode array, and the delivery port is at the distal end of the fluidic tube.

The fluidic interface is compatible with standard HPLC adaptors for interfacing with external injection pumps. Typically, a pressure-based delivery mechanism is used.

As with many of our products, the fluidic probe can be customized. Contact us for your customization needs.

INTERFACE OPTIONS

The D16 and DM16 packages are designed for drug delivery applications. The D16 is intended for acute use, and has the same general specifications as the A16 package. The DM16 is intended for chronic experiments, and is similar to the CM16LP package.

MR-Compatible probes

When configured with the MR-Series Package, NeuroNexus probes include only trace amounts of ferromagnetic material and cause minimal or no distortion during typical MR imaging. Most of our Omnetics connector-based packages can be made MR compatible. Please contact us for details.

MR-SERIES PROBE PACKAGE

MR-Series offers Probe Packages that are exact duplicates of the non-MR versions. All materials used in these Probe Packages include minimal ferromagnetic material. We currently offer 6 MR variants of popular Probe Packages. More Probe Packages can be made MR-compatible, contact us for more information.

CUSTOM ADAPTOR AND INTERFACES

A common challenge associated with MR experiments is how to interface with a non-MR compatible headstage. This will cause MR noise during the functional MR experiment. Headstage amplifiers should be placed away from the implant to avoid distortion. A variety of cable assemblies and adaptors developed for previous projects are available. Contact us for additional customized adaptor/cable solutions for your setup.
