Sarissaprobes® are microelectrode biosensors that have a thin enzymatic biolayer on top of a permselectivity layer to give fast responding, sensitive and selective biosensors.

They are ideal for real-time recordings in a variety of tissues in vitro and in vivo and can be used in combination with electrophysiological techniques (extracellular recording, patch clamp recording) as well as fluorescent imaging methods.
