Technical Services
Engineering support for custom electrode design, system integration, and application development
Beyond off-the-shelf
Most recording setups start with a standard probe — but the hardest problems require a different approach. Our applications engineering team works directly with your lab to design, prototype, and validate custom solutions.
Custom electrode design
Custom silicon probe geometries, shank counts, channel configurations, and coating options engineered to your target and surgical approach.
System integration
End-to-end integration of probes, headstages, drive mechanisms, and acquisition hardware — validated on your rig before delivery.
Application consulting
Early-stage guidance on probe selection, implant strategy, and recording configuration — before you commit to a design.
Rapid prototyping
Accelerated fabrication timelines for pilot-run custom designs — get a working prototype in hand faster.
Service areas
Custom probe geometry
Shank count, length, width, tip angle, and site placement tailored to your brain target and surgical window.
Connector & package engineering
Custom connector types, cable harnesses, and drive-compatible probe packages for chronic and acute preparations.
Surface & coating options
PEDOT, iridium oxide, and parylene-C coatings to match impedance, biocompatibility, and longevity requirements.
Headstage compatibility
Validated interfaces for all major acquisition systems — Intan, SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, Neuralynx, and more.
Implant drive integration
Drive-mounted probe assemblies for chronic recordings — tetrode drives, linear drives, and custom micro-drive housings.
Application engineering
Direct access to NeuroNexus engineers for experimental design review, troubleshooting, and protocol optimization.
