Product categories
Flagship lines
Three electrode lines and the Radiens software platform, each with a landing of its own.
Silicon probes
Silicon probe with one or more thin shanks with sites at lithographically defined positions — the penetrating thin-film electrode.
Thin-film grids
A 12 µm polyimide array for the surface of the brain, skull, nerve or heart — the surface thin-film electrode.
Vector Array™
Short silicon array on a rigid stainless-steel support body, 16 to 128 sites, for deep targets in large animals.
Radiens
The NeuroNexus software platform for electrophysiology: Allego for acquisition, Videre for analysis, RadiensPy and the CLI for scripting, Radiens Compute for study-scale jobs; local-first.
Function follows fit.
Thin-film microfabrication deposits and patterns conductive and insulating layers on a wafer, so sites sit where the design puts them, to the micrometer, on every probe in a batch.Two platforms cover the targets: silicon probes that penetrate, 5, 15 or 50 µm thick and 3 to 15 mm long, and polyimide grids that record from a surface, 6 to 15 µm thick and 5 to 300 mm across.
Silicon carbide (SiC) dielectrics
The insulating layer between traces and tissue, chosen for stability over chronic timescales.
SIROF sites
Sputtered iridium oxide film on the electrode sites, for recording and for stimulation.
Z-Coat™
The NeuroNexus site treatment that lowers impedance at a given site area.
Substrates down to 5 µm
Silicon at 5, 15 or 50 µm; polyimide at 6 to 15 µm: the balance between tissue displaced and stiffness to reach the target.
The recording chain
Each stage is chosen separately, and each choice constrains the next. The stages are engineered together and sold à la carte.
01.
Electrode
Silicon probes penetrate; thin-film grids record from a surface. Site count sets the connector and headstage the probe needs.
Electrodes02.
Package
The connector assembly built around the array; its connector fixes which headstage reads the probe and how it is mounted.
Electrode packages03.
Headstage
Plugs into the package connector and amplifies, filters and digitizes every site at the head; record-only or record-and-stimulate.
Headstages04.
Data acquisition system
Acquires the digital data streams from every headstage, synchronizes them, and streams them to the host computer. XDAQ or Smartbox.
Systems05.
Acquisition — Radiens Allego
Instrument control, recording and live monitoring of signal quality, with spike sorting and PSTH live. Free to start.
Radiens06.
Analysis — Radiens Videre
Opens any recording in place and runs spike sorting, PSTH, spectral and field analysis with provenance.
RadiensPackage connectors are Omnetics, Hirose, Samtec, Mill-Max and Molex parts, so headstages from other suppliers that use the same connector plug in directly, and adapters cover the rest. Radiens reads Intan, SpikeGLX, Open Ephys, TDT, Plexon and NWB files natively.

NeuroNexus Products — FAQ
What does NeuroNexus make?
Neural probes and electrode arrays, data-acquisition systems (XDAQ, Smartbox), headstages, adapters, lab equipment, supplies, and the Radiens software platform — engineered to work together.
Are NeuroNexus systems compatible with third-party equipment?
Yes — NeuroNexus probes and instruments work with third-party DAQ systems (Intan, Open Ephys, Plexon, TDT, Blackrock), and Radiens reads any vendor's data.
How do I find the right products for my experiment?
Browse electrodes by target, modality, or signal; browse systems and equipment by family; or search the full catalog in the webstore and filter by your requirements.
Can NeuroNexus configure a matched solution?
Yes — Solution Bundles pair probes, systems, and accessories that work together as a starting point you customize, and tailored solutions provide custom-configured setups.
