Mill-Max EIBs

Headstage Pre-amplifiers

Small, low weight pre-amplifiers with high resolution. Low noise, low power and low input bias from 8 to 72 channels

QuickClip® Headstages

QuickClip Headstage Pre-amplifiers magnetically self-align and connect to EIB for less stress on animal and researcher. Higher cycle count, lower profile.
