Rat Brain Slicers & Matrices

Zivic Rat Brain Slicers / Matrices aid in the dissection of discrete regions of the rat brain. The Zivic Rat Brain Slicer allows an investigator or research scientist to slice repeatable coronal or sagittal sections of a rat brain, enabling precise blocking prior to microtome sectioning and 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 micropunched from the slices formed.

KEY FEATURES:

• Slice intervals range from 500 microns to 3.00mm
• Rat brain slicer matrices available for:
  • adult rat brains
  • neonatal rat brains
  • rat pup brains
  • large large rat brains
  • custom sized brains
• Available in Coronal or Sagittal orientation
• All matrices include a central sagittal slice channel, allowing the brain to be split into left and right hemispheres
• Each matrix designed with space for olfactory/spinal tissue
• Designed for long-term use
• Matrices of any given type are identical to insure reproducible sections
