What are the specifications of commonly used EEG cup electrode?

Leave a message

Brain electrode cups, commonly used for EEG (Electroencephalogram) applications, are designed to provide precise and reliable recordings.

The Following are common specifications:

 

1. Material

Cup Material: Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) for high conductivity and stability.

2. Cup Diameter

Common Sizes: 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm.

 

Smaller sizes (e.g., 6mm) are typically used for pediatric or specific clinical requirements.

3. Cable

Length: 1.5m to 2.5m (standard lengths). Longer cables can be custom-made.

Connector Type:

1.5mm DIN touch-proof safety connectors.

4. Cable Material

Insulation: Medical-grade PVC or TPU for durability and patient safety.

PVC:

  • Disposable electrodes are commonly used and economical.
  • Short-term experiments or monitoring that do not require particularly high durability or comfort.
  • For budget-sensitive experiments.

TPU:

  • High-end electrode material for reusable electrodes.
  • Suitable for long-term monitoring or patients requiring high comfort.
  • High wear resistance and chemical stability enable it to maintain performance after multiple sterilizations.

Core: Multi-stranded copper for excellent signal transmission.

 

5. Compatibility

Compatible with most EEG machines and amplifiers adhering to standard connector specifications.

 

6. Reusability

 

Reusable Electrodes: Designed for multiple uses with appropriate cleaning and sterilization protocols.

7. Packaging

Typically sold in sets of 10 or 25 electrodes.

Individually packed or grouped to maintain cleanliness and organization.

 

 

8. Optional Features

Pre-attached Gel: Some disposable options come preloaded with conductive gel for ease of use.

Color Coding: Wires are color-coded for easy identification during placement.

Latex-Free: Ensures hypoallergenic properties for sensitive patients.
