Use needle electrodes for stimulation or recording in animal subjects and tissue preparations. These 28-gauge stainless steel needle electrodes are equipped with a flexible lead terminating in standard Touchproof connectors. Use one EL451 electrode, plus one EL452 ground electrode, when recording from a single site (e.g. studies of individual muscle fibers). Use a pair of EL450 or EL452 electrodes, plus one EL452 ground electrode, for general-purpose recording (e.g. ECG). For stimulation, use a pair of EL450 or EL452 electrodes. Teflon coated needle electrodes are fully insulated, with a clear Teflon overcoat, except for the conductive needle tip. Needle electrodes are shipped non-sterile, so pre-sterilization is required.
Research System Users
CBL201 is required for connection to older model 100A/100B-series amplifiers or STMISOA/B.
Education System Users
Use SS1LA, BSLCBL8, or BSLCBL9 to interface the MP3X data acquisition unit.
