    Scientifica IVM Mini Single

    Position many probes in your in vivo sample to acquire more data points

    This compact ultra-smooth, stereotaxic micromanipulator enables you to precisely position a greater number of probes in your sample. Designed for all multielectrode recording systems (such as Neuropixels probes), in vivo patch clamp electrophysiology, and microinjection.

    The IVM Mini Single enables you to carry out long, reliable experiments. It is simple to add to existing set-ups where you require healthy samples and greater control.

    Product benefits

    More Data

    Acquire more data points by mounting a greater number of these compact micromanipulators around your sample.

    Maximises tissue health

    Ensure healthy tissue by smoothly inserting the probe. The unique 'creeper' function enables you to precisely control the speed and position of your probe - reducing tissue damage and improving data.

    Investigate deep within your sample

    The 20mm range of travel means you have ultimate freedom to position anywhere within your sample.

    Compatible with most multielectrode headstages

    The IVM Mini Single is suitable for all major multielectrode headstages – including Neuropixels and Atlas.

    Maximise sample comfort and attention

    The extremely low audible noise of the IVM Mini Single, when in motion or at rest, means your sensitive sample will not be disturbed by audible sounds.

    Compatible with most stereotaxic frames

    This micromanipulator is compatible with many stereotaxic frames, giving you flexibility with your choice of experimental setup.

    Great resolution

    The IVM Mini Single has 20 nm resolution for absolute positioning. View the exact position of your probe using dedicated software.

    Confidently record from the exact area of interest

    Utilise the positional readout, using the software to position your probe exactly where you want it to be within the tissue.

    Acquire reliable data for the full duration of your experiments

    The high stability of the design ensures you can maintain position in the brain or other tissue for reliable, long-term experiments.

    Record even the smallest electrophysiological signals

    The low-noise electronics and grounding allows smaller signals to be detected and provides cleaner data.

    Focus on your sample’s welfare

    The hands-free movement and motorised control allow you to concentrate on the welfare of your sample during probe positioning.

    Advanced control options

    Operate the micromanipulator 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.
