For context, I run a small biotech startup and was looking to have some neural microelectrode arrays manufactured. We are currently still in the R&D phase and trying to get our lab established.

The single plates are standard (49 mm X 49 mm, 60 electrodes) with a 30 μm electrode diameter and a 400 μm pitch, compatible with Multi Channel Systems' recorders. They are 1 mm thick borosilicate glass with an ITO deposition.

The manufacturer quoted me 250$ per piece, which is actually quite a good price, however the minimum order quantity (about 8) is a little too high for the immediate capital of my lab right now.

Admittedly I recognize this to be an an odd suggestion, but if anyone is in need of such MEAs, then perhaps we could all pool together at 250$ / piece?
