Tetrode Electro-Plating for Neural Recording

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After gluing the tetrodes to the guide structure and physically connecting each tetrode wire to the electrode vias in the EIB, tetrodes' tips were cut with sharp stainless-steel scissors (14568-09, Fine Science Tools) and electroplated. The plating solution consisted of 5% gold non-cyanide solution (Sifco 5355 Gold Plating Solution, Neuralynx) with 1% Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) addictive (BioUltra, 8,000, Sigma-Aldrich) mixed in a 75% v/v PEG to gold ratio. This solution has been shown to promote a large surface area with low impedance [10] (link). Electrode impedance was lowered to 150-200 KOhm in successive steps of electrodeposition at -0.05 µA with the aid of NanoZ (White Matter LLC).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
