The Microelectrode Tip Cleaner (MTC) is an instrument that allows to clean the tips of our quartz-platinum/tungsten metal microelectrodes after a longer stock period.

Metal microelectrode impedance tends to increase if some time has passed since the electrode was manufactured or was not in use for some time.

The impedance increase is caused by metal oxidation. The microelectrode tip cleaner uses a special developed electrochemical technique to clean the electrode tip. The cleaning process removes the oxidation layer from the electrode tip and reduces the electrode impedance to the recommended value.

Key features:

• Cleaning the tip of metal microelectrodes before use
• Defined cleaning parameters
• Reproducible cleaning effect
• Easy to use at low costs
• Improved electrode recording performance
