With the WaveNeuro Four Channel Headstage Kit, users can more conveniently connect up to four working electrodes to a single headstage.\u00a0 To make this possible, the Four Channel Headstage Kit includes an adapter board, to which a special interface cable and four-channel headstage cable connects.\u00a0 Terminating this assembly are the four-channel headstage-to-microelectrode coupler wires, which includes sockets for four working electrodes (Yellow, Red, Blue, and Green) and one reference electrode (White).<\/p>\n
The Four Channel Headstage Kit finds application in several areas, yet to be fully realized by the FSCV research community:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The FSCV community has yet to release seminal papers on the topic of multichannel FSCV.\u00a0 Pine Research hopes to promote the growth of FSCV into this area by providing a well-designed commercial solution for those needing multichannel FSCV.<\/p>\n
Pine Research currently offers working driven headstage amplifiers. \u00a0In a working driven system, the reference electrode is grounded. \u00a0The FSCV potential waveform (ramp) is\u00a0connected to the non-inverting input of the operational amplifier, while the working electrode is connected to the inverting input. \u00a0In this arrangement, the voltage at the microelectrode will follow the ramp applied to the inverting input.

Even when no electrodes are connected (connector just in air) to the headstage amplifier cable, which is connected to the WaveNeuro, HDCV will show a current response that follows the applied waveform<\/strong>. \u00a0As described below, this is expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n In this two-electrode configuration, current arising from electron-transfer reactions, such as the oxidation of dopamine, passes between reference and working electrodes. \u00a0The measured current passes through the headstage amplifer, where it is converted to voltage, and sums with the the ramp voltage at the inverting input. Mathematically,<\/p>\n where HDCV software, which supports the WaveNeuro FSCV Potentiostat system, performs software subtraction of the ramp according to this relationship, resulting in only the true differential current measurement.1<\/sup><\/p>\n 1.
