R2 System

Recover your probes

3x reuse(average reported recovery times of silicon probes with the R2drive and R2rail)
100+ labshave gotten the R2 system

We make recoverable metal microdrives for chronic silicon-probe recordings in freely moving and head-fixed experiments. They work with the probes you already use and can let you use them 3x more often.

REMY

Head-fixed behavior for rats

A validated head fixation system for behavioral experiments with moving rats. Reliable head-fixation of rats running on is treadmills not easy. REMY aims to change that.

What our users say · 01 / 04

My first introduction to probe implants was using a drive that was completely incased in dental cement. The probe was not recoverable, and the drive was three times as expensive. R2Drives completely changed things for me. The R2Drives make probe implants and explants easy. I’m now able to reuse probes several times over and the R2Drive remains reliable throughout reuse.
