Acrylic Mouse Brain Slicer Matrix BSMAA003-2

The Acrylic Zivic Adult Mouse Brain Slicer Matrix with 3.0 mm SAGITTAL section slice intervals aids research scientists in the dissection of discrete regions of the adult mouse brain. With its anatomically proportioned dimensions and slice channels, this mouse brain matrix allows an investigator or research scientist to consistently slice sagittal sections of a mouse brain, enabling 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.

KEY FEATURES:

- Slice intervals spaced 3.0mm apart

- Use this matrix to section the mouse brain into SAGITTAL slices with thicknesses in increments of 3.0mm

- Designed to accommodate for unique anatomical features of the mouse brain, including adjacent olfactory/spinal tissue

- Include a central sagittal slice channel, allowing the brain to be split into left and right hemispheres

- Use with fresh or preserved brain tissue

- Matrices of any given type are identical to insure reproducible sections

- Comes ready to use, with 10 single edge razor blades provided at no additional cost

- Made from high-grade, polished acrlyic

USES INCLUDE:

- Dissection / Blocking of the mouse brain into sagittal sections (or left and right hemispheres)

- Sectioning the mouse brain prior to or post staining with agents included TTC or X-Gal-stain

- Repeated isolation of mouse brain regions for further analysis or slide preparation

- Tissue preparation
