TAPPER™ Insertion Assist System
Controlled Ultrasonic Vibration for Easier Dura Penetration
Reduced Insertion Force | Less Tissue Deformation
See the Difference: Probe Mount for Multi-Probe Electrophysiology
New Scale Technologies Tapper generates controlled ultrasonic axial vibrations to improve penetration effectiveness of the dura. Tapper does not create electrical artifacts that interfere with recording and there is no tissue damage from operating Tapper inside the brain. Tapper is compatible with NeuroPixels probes and existing New Scale Technology ecosystem providing a drop-in upgrade to MPM and MIS configurations.
Visual demonstration only. Performance will vary by probe type, insertion parameters, and experimental setup.
Why Neuroscience Researchers Choose TAPPER Probe Mount
- Lower force to penetrate the dura with less dimpling
- It produces no electrical artifacts, so your recordings stay clean
- Operating Tapper inside the brain causes no tissue damage
- Adjustable Parameters in Pathfinder Software
- Uses New Scale NeuroPixels Probe Mounts with 2.5mm Probe Mounting Hardware
- Designed for MPM and MIS Integration
How to Use TAPPER
Pathfinder Control & Easy Integration
The Tapper control menu provides settings for operating voltage, duty cycle, duration, and manual on/off operation for tuning different insertion conditions.
- Controlled ultrasonic vibration: Tapper generates axial vibrations along the probe to improve penetration of the dura.
- Compatibility: Works with NeuroPixels probes.
- Drop-in upgrade: It fits into your existing New Scale ecosystem, including MPM and MIS configurations.
