Concentric Electrodes

Microprobes for Life Science offers a variety of popular and fully-customizable concentric electrode designs to meet your research needs. The inner electrode features one of three available metals, and an outer electrode is made of stainless steel. Our CEA Tapered Tip models are precision ground to a pencil point for improve tissue penetration, while our NE Rhodes-Style Tip models feature cylindrical stepped tips to allow for carefully controlled contact surface areas.

The lengths of the different layers of the Rhodes-style electrodes can be customized to provide a great degree of control over probe surface area and impedance.

The CEA-200 tapered concentric electrode is ideal for localized stimulation or population recording in fixed preparations or acute animal experiments. They feature a long, fixed shaft that allows for easy gripping and manipulation, and a sharp durable tip capable of penetrating tough tissue.

Many features are fully customizable by special order, including shaft length, flexible wire length, connector type, and other features. Contact us to learn how our engineers can prepare an electrode ideal for your research.

The CEA-200-SS Concentric electrodes with exposed metal shield are excellent for shield macro recording of a large number of neural elements, nerves or neurons, simultaneously; as opposed to single unit recording that intended to record from one or just a few neural elements. The CEA-200-SS is ideal for chronic implantation.

Compared to the stepped "Rhodes" style tips of our NE and SNE Concentric models, the tips our CEA models are precision-ground to a sharp point.

The CEAX-200 features the same tip as our CEA-200 probe, but in a form factor appropriate for chronic implantation. The CEAX-200 has a much shorter length and includes a rigid removable extension rod that can be easily gripped and then clipped off after the headcap is hardened to create a low-profile implant.

As in the CEA-200, many features are fully customizable by special order, including shaft length, flexible wire lengths, connector types, extension rod length, and other features.
