The Fiber-optic & liquid rotary joint provides a solution to combine optogenetics and simultaneous fluid-delivery in freely-moving animals, minimizing disruptions to animal and reducing the tangling of the tubing and the optic fiber. This rotary joint is designed to work with Doric opto-fluidic cannula to inject drugs or other solutions at the site of optogenetics stimulation, but can also work for subcutaneous injections.

This rotary joint, designed with small core fibers (200µm diameter) and low NA (0.22), is optimized for use with lasers light sources. Contact us to learn if your LED light source will be compatible. In addition, this rotary joint is NOT recommended for fiber photometry applications.

Our standard product is provided with 1- channel stainless steel swivel series 375 from Instech Laboratories Inc. If more fluid channels are needed, it can be adapted to work with the 2 or 5 channels fluid swivels. Up to 8 fluid Channels are possible on the rotary joint.
