Magnet specs

Hello All,

I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing a large group of parylene magnets for testing with implants. I have a good source that is offering reasonable pricing.

I just wanted to make sure

Magnets should be magnatized through thickness.

Parylene is a good material for implant as well.

If both of those assertions are correct I will likely be able to supply a good amount of n52 magnets to the community coated in parylene within the next 2 months.

Please let me know and I will update magnet availability providing the above are correct.

  1. What is the expected in vivo life time? (Of the coating) What are the advantages of parylene? How much would getting a few cost?

  2. I can get them for very cheap i am not sure their projected in vivo but I do know that it is biocompatable. I will prolly pick up a bunch next paycheck and look for ways to test them.
