    Scientifica IVM Mini Triple

    Remotely position multiple probes in your in vivo sample to acquire best quality data.

    This multi axis, ultra-smooth, stereotaxic micromanipulator enables you to precisely position a greater number of probes in your sample. Designed for all multielectrode recording systems (such as Neuropixels probes), in vivo patch clamp electrophysiology, and microinjection.

    The IVM Mini Triple enables you to carry out long, reliable experiments. It is simple to add to existing set-ups where you require healthy samples and greater control.

    Product benefits

    Total remote control

    Each axis is controlled remotely, with a readout display, giving best possible positioning for accurate and confident sample targeting.

    Investigate deep within your sample

    The 20mm range of travel means you have ultimate freedom to position anywhere within your sample.

    More data

    Acquire more data points by mounting a greater number of these compact micromanipulators around your sample.

    Maximises tissue health

    Ensure healthy tissue by smoothly inserting the probe. The unique 'creeper' function enables you to precisely control the speed and position of your probe - reducing tissue damage and improving data.

    Compatible with most multielectrode headstages

    The IVM Mini Triple is suitable for all major multielectrode headstages – including Neuropixels and Atlas.

    Maximise sample comfort and attention

    The extremely low audible noise and hands-free control of the IVM Mini Triple, when in motion or at rest, means your sensitive sample will not be disturbed by audible sounds.

    Compatible with most stereotaxic frames

    This micromanipulator is compatible with many stereotaxic frames, giving you flexibility with your choice of experimental setup.

    Great resolution

    The IVM Mini Triple has 20 nm resolution for absolute positioning. View the exact position of your probe using dedicated software.

    Confidently record from the exact area of interest

    Utilise the positional readout in all axis, using the software to position your probe exactly where you want it to be within the tissue.

    Acquire reliable data for the full duration of your experiments

    The high stability of the design ensures you can maintain position in the brain or other tissue for reliable, long-term experiments.

    Record even the smallest electrophysiological signals

    The low-noise electronics and grounding allows smaller signals to be detected and provides cleaner data.

    Focus on your sample’s welfare

    The hands-free movement and motorised control allow you to concentrate on the welfare of your sample during probe positioning.

    Operate the micromanipulator using our ergonomically designed configurable control options or through our specially designed and customisable LinLab software

    Advanced control options

    Control your IVM Triple Mini with PatchPad Evo and track probe position directly on the controller throughout your experiment. The integrated display provides real-time XYZ coordinate readout, helping you maintain continuous awareness of probe location at the rig without needing to look away to a separate screen.

    Advanced parameters such as speed settings and movement profiles are configured in LinLab, while core functions including fast and slow movement, stored positions, and Home In/Out are accessed instantly via the controller.

    This streamlined approach supports efficient, accurate operation in in vivo electrophysiology, helping you stay focused on your experiment while maintaining precise positioning.
