Comparing the DBC Deep Array

How does Deep Array Measure Up?

The Diagnostic Biochips Deep Array offers advantages over other competing probes. One of its standout features is its enhanced spatial resolution, achieved through an arrangement of microelectrodes that allows for recordings of a larger number of neurons. This heightened resolution empowers researchers to delve deeper into intricate neural networks, capturing details of neural communication. Additionally, the Deep Array offers exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in cleaner data acquisition. Ultimately, the Diagnostic Biochips Deep Array not only offers unprecedented understanding into brain function but also revolutionizes our understanding of neurological disorders and potential therapeutic interventions.

Site Density

Experience high-density recordings with our Deep Array. Unlike the NeuroNexus Vector Array and Plexon U-probe, which top out at 64 channels, the Deep Array has up to 128 integrated channels. Our high-density Deep Arrays pack a competitive 40 channels per linear millimeter and all 128 channels are available for simultaneous recording. For the highest site densities in neuroscience, check out our silicon "Janus" probes, featuring dual-sided shanks for recordings on both the front and back of the array and nearly double the density of the Neuropixels.

Multi-system

Compatible

Our Deep Array stands out from NeuroPixels as it offers compatibility with a wide range of recording systems. Our devices are compatible with Intan, OpenEphys, Neuralynx, TDT, Plexon, Blackrock, Ripple, and various others.

In addition, our Deep Array surpasses NeuroPixels' 10-bit encoding with an impressive 16-bit bit depth to increase your SNR and aid in artifact rejection.

For multi-modal experiments, any of our devices can be made into an optrode with the addition of an optical fiber.
