The modular 8400 Series provides a flexible platform for single- or multi-modal studies, including EEG/EMG, biosensors, video, and electrical or optogenetic stimulation. Configurations can be updated by simply swapping the headstage, with biosensors, optogenetics, electrical stimulation, or an accelerometer added at any time.

Pinnacle's hardware kits include a data conditioning and acquisition unit, commutator, mounting plate, free acquisition software, and step-by-step manual guides. Preamplifiers are sold in separate kits based on configuration.

DATA CONDITIONING AND ACQUISITION SYSTEM

The data conditioning and acquisition system (DCAS) performs secondary amplification and filtering before sending data to Pinnacle's Sirenia® Acquisition software for collection via a USB cable.

4 channels 18-bit resolution 4x TTL Configurable as Digital In/Out or 12-bit Analog Adjustable sampling rates: 200 - 20,000 Hz Software configurable low-pass filters: 21 Hz - 15 kHz High-pass filters: 0.5 Hz EEG, 10 Hz EMG for sleep; 1.0 Hz EEG for seizure

Pinnacle's commutators provide excellent freedom of movement while maintaining clean and constant electrical signals. Custom modifications are also available for use with third-party cabling and connection schemes.

MOUSE COMMUTATOR A low-torque commutator (< 2 x 10-4 N-m), mounted above the cage, allows for unencumbered freedom of movement. A 7-inch cable extends from the commutator.		RAT COMMUTATOR A low-torque commutator mounts above the cage for free, unencumbered movement. A 1.5-inch cable extends from the commutator.

Signals are amplified and filtered at the head of the animal using our preamplifiers, which ensure the delivery of clean, artifact free data. Have your own amplification or acquisition system? Our analog adapters can be used to connect Pinnacle's preamplifiers with third-party data collection systems.

Pinnacle's preamplifiers provide differential amplification (x10 or x100) between electrodes. Our standard three and four-channel preamplifiers have two referential channels and one or two differential channels. Fully referential and fully differential versions are also available.

MOUSE PREAMPLIFIERS Preamplifiers amplify and filter signals at the head for clean, artifact-free data. The commutator connects to the preamplifier’s 7-inch cable, made of six insulated, lightweight wires. The mouse preamplifier attaches to the headmount via a friction fit.		RAT PREAMPLIFIERS Preamplifiers amplify and filter signals at the head, ensuring clean, artifact-free data. A 17.5-inch cable, protected by a metal spring coil, connects the preamplifier to the commutator. A P1 Technologies screw connector secures the preamplifier to the animal’s head.
