Neo-natal Rat Brain Slicer Matrix BSRNA002-1

The Acrylic Zivic Neonatal Rat Brain Slicer Matrix with 2.0 mm CORONAL section slice intervals aids research scientists in the dissection of discrete regions of the neonatal rat brain. With its anatomically proportioned dimensions and slice channels, this neonatal rat brain matrix allows an investigator or research scientist to consistently slice coronal sections of a neonatal rat 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 micropunched from the slices formed.

KEY FEATURES:

- Slice intervals spaced 2.0mm apart

- Use this matrix to section the neonatal rat brain into CORONAL slices with thicknesses in increments of 2.0mm

- Designed to accommodate for unique anatomical features of the neonatal rat 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 neonatal rat brain into coronal sections (or left and right hemispheres)

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

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

- Tissue preparation
