Custom Designs

At CD Neural Technologies, we recognize that many experimental situations require specialized, custom designed or modified equipment and products. As a result, we are always interested in discussing individual experimental requirements. We will strive to find cost effective solutions or suggest alternative approaches. Below are examples of some of our custom designed solutions.

Micro-Stimulation Arrays

These Stimulation Arrays were built for researchers at Duke University's Dept. of Bioengineering.The arrays use 125um diameter stainless steel electrodes.

4x4 Fixed Recording Arrays

These Fixed Recording Arrays were custom built for researchers at the NIH.The electrodes are arranged in a 4x4 grid with 200um spacing between each of the outer rows and 800um spacing between the center rows.

Rat Whisker Behavioral Box

This system was designed to provide a very well controlled behavioral training apparatus for conditioning rats to make fine-grained tactile discriminations using only their large facial whiskers. [see Krupa, et al., Science , 304, pp. 1989-92 (2004) for reference]

".....Whenever I want my whiskers stimulated, this is the box for me.... " --Templeton the rat

16-Channel Whisker Stimulator

This custom designed 16 channel stimulator can provide virtually unlimited tactile sensations. [see Krupa, et al., J. Neuroscience Methods , 104(2), pp. 199-208, (2001) for reference]
