Novel carbon-fiber microelectrode batch fabrication using a 3D-printed mold and polyimide resin.Glass insulated carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs) are standard tools for the measurement of neurotransmitters.  Here, we developed a novel microelectrode batch fabrication method using a 3D-printed mold and polyimide resin insulating agent.  The 3D-printed mold is low cost, customizable to change the electrode shape, and allows 40 electrodes to be made simultaneously.  Thus, polyimide-insulated electrodes can be mass-produced using a 3D-printed mold and are an attractive alternative for making cheap, biocompatible microelectrodes.

Here, we developed a novel microelectrode batch fabrication method using a 3D-printed mold and polyimide resin insulating agent.  The polyimide resin is biocompatible, quick to cure, and does not adhere to the plastic mold.
