SENSAPEX in-vivo system for NEUROPIXEL recordings – 1 micromanipulator
The SENSAPEX in-vivo system is designed for reliable, reproducible Neuropixel recordings with proven stability. It allows easy and accurate probe positioning, with smooth automated insertion at adjustable speeds down to 1 µm/s, minimising tissue damage.
The system supports angles ranging from vertical to near-horizontal with brain-centred rotation. Probes can be quickly exchanged without risk of breakage, and angles can be easily adjusted using easy-to-read scales. Automated control is simplified via a Python interface and a Pinpoint-compatible SDK.
The complete setup includes a micromanipulator, several supports and modular arms, and a touch-screen controller for ergonomic and precise handling.
