Electrode Assortments

Each of these assortment kits includes electrodes with different impedance within each style. Use an assortment kit to determine which electrode you need for your experiment. Each box includes the electrodes listed. There are no mix and match assortment kits. A comparison of the assortment electrode kits is at the bottom of the page.

Concentric Electrodes
 
Concentric bipolar electrodes are excellent for shielded macro recording, as well as evoked potentials. They are especially well suited for bipolar stimulation. The tungsten electrode is sharpened to a point and is 75μm in diameter. The outer stainless steel conductor is insulated with Polyimide tubing to within 0.2mm of the end of the stainless steel tube. This electrode is also available without the outer Polyimide insulation. A comparison of the concentric electrodes is at the bottom of the page.

Platinum Iridium Metal Electrodes Profile A

Typical Use

Single and multi unit recording, stimulation, chronic implants

Kapton tubing (PTM23B05KTH)

Kapton tubing, indicated by “KT” in the part number, extends from the connector to within 5 mm of the tip, providing stiffness and additional insulation to the electrode shaft. Kapton-clad electrodes are recommended when the electrode is to be inserted through a cannula for extra deep penetration.
