8500-K2: Wireless Rat FSCV System
Pinnacle's wireless fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) system allows researchers to employ the FSCV technique in an untethered mode with rats. Possible uses of the wireless system include measurements within a maze or other enclosed environments, such as metabolic and behavioral chambers. A stimulus control is available via an external tether. The system resides in a head-mounted enclosure and transmits data to a computer via Bluetooth. The battery is easily accessible and readily exchangeable in real-time to support extended recordings. The system can acquire data at 5 sweeps/sec and 1,000 points/sweep. The kit includes the following: 8501: Wireless FSCV Board 8502: Bluetooth Dongle 9052: 3' USB Extension Cable For first time buyers, we recommend purchasing an accessory kit (8500-K4) to complement the hardware system. Note: Custom cable may be needed from stim isolator to stim electrode. Note: Carbon fiber electrodes are sold separately.
