Our site is a practical guide to microiontophoresis and extracellular electrophysiology. These techniques are used in neuroscience research to test the effects of neuroactive substances on single nerve cells or to deposit dyes or tract-tracer materials in the nervous system for subsequent histological analysis. We hope to provide the interested with the knowledge and equipments crucial to such high quality experimentation.

Featured Item: Gravipull-2 micropipette puller

This puller is specifically designed to pull multi- or singlebarrel pipettes for microiontophoresis and extracellular recording. The pulling force is generated by gravity using an 8-stage weight system. The sliding shaft travels up to 4" in vertical length providing a means to pull long-tapered multibarrel pipettes. > Details
