Electrode Coating Services
Our laboratory has the ability to modify the surfaces of electrodes with inherently conductive polymers, hydrogels, and combinations of these polymers. Coating electrode sites with conductive polymer usually decreases electrical impedance of electrodes by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Conductive polymers can be tailored to have a variety of surface topologies (pores, cell-shaped holes, tubular, nano-hairs) and can be made bioactive by incorporating drugs or proteins. Our techniques are compatible with most electrode geometries and configurations.
Please contact us by phone or email if you would like to set up a collaboration or if you need more information. Currently, we are particularly interested in collaborating on studies being performed in animal models.
If you are at a university or research institution, a Materials Transfer Agreement will need to be established between our labs.
If you are at a company, we will put you in contact with the University of Michigan Office of Technology Transfer. Materials Transfer Agreements, Non-disclosure Agreements, and/or technology licnesing agreements may be involved.
Thanks very much for your interest in our technology and we look forward to working together.
Electrodes can be mailed to us at either of the addresses below.
