Ensure maximum tissue health when reliably positioning electrophysiological and microinjection probes in your sample.
This super-smooth, stereotaxic motorised manipulator enables you to precisely position your pipettes and probes. Designed for multielectrode recording (such as Neuropixels probes) in vivo patch clamp electrophysiology, and microinjection. The IVM Single enables you to carry out long, reliable experiments.
The IVM Single is compatible with all common stereotaxic frames making it simple to add to existing set-ups where you require healthy samples and greater control.
Product benefits
Maximises tissue health
Smooth probe insertion into the brain. Using the unique 'creeper' function to precisely control the movement of the manipulator, your probe can 'creep' to the desired position at a speed of your choice. This minimises tissue damage, reduces gliosis and increases the signal quality and data you receive from neurons.
Investigate deep within your sample
The long 70mm range of travel means you have ultimate freedom to position anywhere within your sample.
Maximise sample comfort and attention
The extremely low audible noise of the IVM Single, when in motion or at rest, means your sensitive sample will not be disturbed by audible sounds.
Compatible with all stereotaxic frames
The IVM Single is compatible with whichever stereotaxic frame you choose, giving you flexibility with your choice of experimental setup.
Great resolution
The IVM has 20 nm resolution for absolute positioning. View the exact position of your probe using dedicated software and/or the Patch Pad display.
