Scientifica IVM Single
Ensure maximum tissue health when reliably positioning electrophysiological and microinjection probes in your sample.
This super-smooth, stereotaxic motorised manipulator enables you to precisely position your pipettes and probes. Designed for multielectrode recording (such as Neuropixels probes) in vivo patch clamp electrophysiology, and microinjection. The IVM Single enables you to carry out long, reliable experiments.
The IVM Single is compatible with all common stereotaxic frames making it simple to add to existing set-ups where you require healthy samples and greater control.
Product benefits
LinLab is a versatile control software designed to give you advanced control over your motorised Scientifica device.
Advanced control options
Operate the IVM Single using our ergonomically designed configurable control options or through our specially designed and customisable LinLab software.
The creeper function in LinLab allows the movement of the manipulator to be programmed over a set distance at a pre-defined speed. This allows for smooth motion to the correct area of interest.
Alternatively, the step function can be used for faster, yet measured step movement to insert the electrode into the cell.
Position co-ordinates can be viewed, stored, exported and recalled in LinLab, so X, Y and Z co-ordinates can be viewed in real time right by the sample. An ideal set up for customers doing auditory research who wish to avoid using a workstation near to their sample.
