Glutamate Biosensor
Overview

Pinnacle's glutamate biosensor is an enzyme-based sensor designed for in vivo use with rats, but it is valuable for a variety of applications including in vitro, in situ and cell culture measurements. When used in combination with the 3102RH (providing wireless, realtime in vivo data acquisition) the versatile glutamate biosensor is an extremely powerful measurement tool for researchers.

Features

High sensitivity to glutamate at low (micromolar) concentrations
Linear response over a wide concentration range (0-100 uM)
Exclusion of endogenous electroactive interferences present in the brain
Fast response (1-4s); capable of monitoring the time course of a physiological glutamate release
Small, rigid design for precise placement in dendritic fields using a stereotaxic frame
Robust connection scheme to data acquisition device
Sensor diameter - 170 um
