Features of tungsten microelectrodes
- Extremely strong and stiff metal provides probes with exceptional rigidity.
- Great for acute and chronic recording due to biocompatibility and lower cost.
- High corrosion resistance offers consistent long-term performance.
- Does not provide the same degree of electrochemical performance or stability as platinum-iridium alloy, making it a poor alternative for microstimulation.
- Lower charge transfer capacity of tungsten will result in larger, potentially unsafe interfacial potentials when applying the same stimulation current as to a platinum-iridium electrode.
- Certain pH or stimulation conditions can lead to tungsten corrosion.
