Mouse Brain Slicers & Matrices

Zivic Mouse Brain Slicers aid in the dissection of discrete regions of the mouse brain. The Zivic Mouse Brain Slicer allows an investigator or research scientist to slice the mouse brain into coronal or sagittal sections, 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.

Choose the best mouse brain slicer for your research:

• Adult Mouse Brain Slicer: for mice weighing >14 grams
• Young Mouse Brain Slicer: for mice weighing 3 to 14 grams
• Neonatal Mouse Brain Slicer: for mice weighing up to 3 grams

All mouse brain slicers are designed for long-term use and matrices of any given type are identical to insure reproducible sections. Channels are cut at precise intervals ranging from 0.5mm to 3.00mm and are .3mm wide.

KEY FEATURES:

• Slice intervals range from 500 microns to 3.00mm
• Brain molds / brain blockers / brain slicers available for adult mouse brain, young mouse brain, and neonatal mouse brain
• 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/brain stem/spinal tissue
• Designed for long-term use
