Concentric Bipolar Microelectrodes
Catalog Number: CB
For stimulating spherical/cylindrical tissue volumes, various diameters, tip configurations and materials can be specified. Available in specified lengths with chronic or acute terminations.
Concentric Bipolar Microelectrodes are widely used for stimulation in both slice and in vivo setups. We can custom tailor all design parameters to fit individual needs. As an example, we have worked with many customers that needed CB's to be bent to varying angles to fit under their microscope objective. These microelectrodes are ideal for large field stimulation in fresh tissue slices.
