A pioneering three axis motorised manipulator flawlessly designed for challenging in-vivo electrophysiology recordings.
A versatile three axis motorised manipulator that enables precise, controlled positioning of pipettes and probes, including multielectrode recording technologies such as Neuropixels probes and microelectrode arrays. Perfect for a range of electrophysiology experiments, including field recordings and patch clamp, as well as microinjection experiments.
The IVM Triple is compatible with all common stereotaxic frames and breadboard mounts. The long travel and ultra-smooth motion of all three axis make this micromanipulator the perfect solution for in vivo experiments, stereotaxic surgical procedures and microinjections including dyes and fluorescent probes.
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', driving your experiment to the desired position. This minimises tissue damage during insertion, reduces gliosis and increases the signal quality and data you receive from neurons.
Accurate and stored memory positioning
Hit your precise target every time by programming the IVM Triple to move to the exact brain region you are interested in, at a speed of your choice, with the freedom to add an unlimited number of stored memory positions. The IVM Triple has 20 nm resolution for absolute positioning.
Perform long-term experiments
The high stability and low drift of the design ensures you can maintain position in the brain for reliable, long-term experiments.
