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.
TAPERED TIP OPTIONS
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.

Tip Specifications

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.

Tip Specifications

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.

The Stainless Steel external tubing (E) provides support for accurate placement. The extra extension may be cut off after insertion, leaving only a small protrusion.

RHODES TIP OPTIONS
The NE-100 is designed to replicate the Peter Rhodes-produced NE-100 concentric, and features the same length, thickness, and tip dimensions. These probes feature a stepped tip with well-defined element lengths, allowing surface area to be easily determined for charge density calculations. As in the CEA-200, the NE-100 is ideal for localized stimulation or population recording in fixed preparations for acute animal experiments.
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.

Tip Specifications

The SNE-100 is designed to replicate the Peter Rhodes-produced SNE-100 semi-micro concentric, and features the same length, thickness, and tip dimensions. These probes feature a stepped tip with well-defined element lengths, allowing surface area to be easily determined for charge density calculations. Featuring a shaft diameter considerably thinner than the NE-100, the SNE-100 is ideal for localized stimulation or population recording in fixed preparations and acute animal experiments where implant size is a critical concern.
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.
