Brain Matrix and Brain Slicers

Brain Slicers
Zivic Brain Slicer Matrices enable the precise sectioning / blocking of brains (rat brains, mouse brains, pig brains, gerbil brains, etc.). Each brain slicer matrix is designed with anatomically proportioned cavity dimensions and slice channels spaced at precise intervals, thereby allowing an investigator or research scientist to consistently slice coronal or sagittal sections of a brain. Zivic Brain Slicer Matrices enable precise blocking prior to microtome sectioning or the removal of small, reproducible brain regions (i.e. discrete terminal fields or nuclei) for biochemical analysis, such as the determination of neurotransmitter and metabolite concentrations. Individual brain areas may be either dissected or micro-punched from the slices formed. Each matrix is made of high quality, polished acrylic or stainless steel, and is available in two orientations: coronal (slice channels cut perpendicular to the long axis of the brain) and sagittal (slice channels cut parallel to the long axis of the brain). Zivic Brain Slicer Matrices have been the industry standard for more than 25 years.

Key Features:
  • Slice Intervals from 500 microns (.5mm) to 5mm
  • Coronal and Sagittal Orientations Available
  • Made of Stainless Steel, Aluminum, or Acrylic
  • All matrices have a center-sagittal slice channel, which allows the brain to be split into hemispheres
  • Capable of accomodating olfactory tissue and brain stem
  • Designed for long-term use
