Introduction
Electrophysiology recordings are an important part of neuroscience research, helping us elucidate the different field potentials within different brain regions and the flow of electrical signals between neurons. Altogether, electrophysiological recordings are critical towards analyzing different neural circuit functions and its association with neurodegenerative diseases.
ACROBiosystems, through
Acro Certify, has partnered with Diagnostic Biochips to provide you with solutions for in vivo electrophysiology recordings, including high-quality multi-channel electrodes, a data acquisition box, as well as cloud-based data analytics to facilitate high-quality, efficient analysis of neural circuit structure and function, electrophysiological marker discovery, and drug screening.
Product Features
Plug & Play Hardware
Making the right connections between your electrodes, data acquisition hardware, and software can be a headache. Developed with you in mind, all hardware is designed to be ‘plug & play’, to help you focus on elucidating brain connections, not electrical ones.
Big-data Ready Software
Electrophysiology recordings across numerous channels is a type of big data science, requiring you to sift through millions of datapoints to find what you need. With Diagnostic Biochips’ software, scalable storage, GPU acceleration, and analytical tools are all at your disposal.
Multi-channel Electrodes
High-density, microfabricated neural probes for both deep structure and surface recordings. Designed by the DBC team for decades to bring you cutting-edge micro-fabricated electrodes.
Multi-channel Electrodes: Up to 128 channels available for chronic, long-term recording.
Lightweight, Flexible Design: 64/128 channel electrodes require no headstage to reduce animal headload.
Multi / Deep Recordings: Deep-array electrodes to complete recordings across 128 channels, 90mm in depth.
Cost Effective: Easy to operate, better performance, low costs to maximize your product’s worth.
Starters Kit: Build the RIGHT platform for you while minimizing your cost. Explore our Getting Started section to find what’s right for you.

Notice: In addition to the conventional electrode products, you can also add electrode modification services according to your experimental requirements, such as sharpening electrodes, matching optical genetic fibers, and matching EEG records.
Data Acquisition Box
No more large, bulky recording electronics are needed. With our Data Acquisition Box (based on the open-ephys system), you can collect up to 512 channels of data directly to your computer and upload it to the cloud for big data analytics. Whether you’re looking to perform spike sorting or other analytics, your data is safe within the cloud without professional, research-grade hardware.
Getting Started – Beginner Products & Kits
In vivo electrophysiology recording is not easy to perform. At a certain level, it requires a significant degree of understanding and experience to perform correctly, both of which can influence the result and follow-up experiments. Before getting started with animal models and electrode implantation, consider using our training (B / C grade) products to ensure you are completely ready for in vivo studies.
What are Training Products - B vs C grade products?
B-grade Products
Electrode samples with recording function enabled.
Suitable for electrode implants and practice data recording.
C-grade Products
Electrode samples without the recording function enabled.
Suitable for animal surgery and practice electrode implantation.
