Description of Platinum wire

Platinum Wire (Pt wire) is a premium material widely used in chemical equipment manufacturing, including reactors, heat exchangers, and catalytic systems, due to its exceptional corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and catalytic activity. In the fields of electronics, temperature sensing, and chemical analysis, Pt wire serves as a reliable electrode thanks to its high purity, excellent conductivity, wear resistance, and long service life. With proven performance in extreme environments, platinum wire also plays a critical role in aerospace and automotive industries, where it is used in high-temperature alloys, jet engines, rocket propulsion systems, and high-performance automotive components.

Platinum Wire-Embedded Culturing Device for Interior Signal Recording from Lollipop-Shaped Neural Spheroids

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel 3D cell culturing and noninvasive characterization technique of neural spheroids. Based on embedded platinum wires, the cultured cells are lollipop-shaped spheroids where axons are extended and integrated around the embedded wires. Electrical microstimulation enhanced the connectivity between spheroids and demonstrated signal propagation among them.
