Code 51600 Lab Standard Stereotaxic Unit Code 51603 Dual Arm Stereotaxic Unit

Lab Standard Stereotaxic Affordably priced...immediate delivery - The 51600 Lab Standard™ Stereotaxic Instrument is ideal for researchers in need of a versatile, reliable instrument for stereotaxic procedures with small animals. Precision alignment when using the Lab Standard™ ensures accurate placement of electrodes, micropipettes, and other devices. Easily Read Scales - All scales are oriented to be read easily from the open end of the ‘U’. This is the position from which most scientists prefer to work. The numerals on the scales are larger, and therefore more easily read. The scale lines are laser engraved, to allow finest possible permanent marking of scales on all 3 axes. Precise alignment with facing vernier scales gives accurate resolution to 0.1mm. Smooth Movements - The Lab Standard’s™ exclusive, triple lead screws allow the fastest positioning possible, consistent with lining up the scales easily at a given coordinate. Versatility of Positioning. The manipulator arm controls medio-lateral and vertical positioning via lead screws, and antero-posterior movement via dovetail slide movement, with 80 mm of travel possible in each direction. A Universal Joint allows the investigator to change the angle of the probe up to 90o in either the antero-posterior or medio-lateral planes. The improved locking mechanism on the Lab Standard™ will hold any angle position without slippage. And of course, it also provides an absolute lock at 90^o vertical. 51603 two vertical arms and probe holders available.

Mouse Adaptor The 51624 Mouse Adaptor holds the mouse head by means of a palate bar and nose clamp, without ear bars. (Ear bars can cause breathing difficulties and bleeding in mice.) Head angle may be adjusted to achieve skull flat or other approach angles. Fits 51600 and 51800 series stereotaxic instruments. Code 51624 Mouse Adpator

Cunningham™ Mouse and Neonatal Rat Adaptor   The Cunningham™ Mouse and Neonatal Rat Adaptor employs light, Delrin® ear bars with tapered points on one end, and rubber pads on the other, to facilitate surgery on mice and rat pups Unique, light ear bars - Ear bars may be independently adjusted in height, a unique feature of this stereotaxic instrument, to level the skull. Laser engraved scales show the vertical positions of the ear bars. A tooth bar and nose clamp secures the nose. A well, carved in the thick aluminum body, may be filled with dry ice and alcohol for hypothermic anesthesia of neonatal animals. The 51625 Adaptor clamps securely on the right side of the "U" frame of the Lab Standard™. Model organisms with soft skulls, such as the mouse and the neonatal rat, are difficult to secure firmly in a traditional stereotaxic instrument. The stainless steel ear bars used for adult rats are too heavy to provide a secure hold without compressing the sides of the skull inward (which closes the airways and impedes blood flow.) Further, the neonatal rat pup has no external opening of the auditory canal into which to insert the ear bar points.

GAS ANESTHESIA MASKS for STEREOTAXIC These Adapter Masks enable the Scientist to use Gas Anesthesia on Rats and Mice on most common Stereotaxic Instruments without personal exposure to the gas. Available in two different sizes for Rats and Mice Code 51610 Gas Anesthesia Mask for Rats Code 51609 Gas Anesthesia Mask for Mice

Digital Lab Standard™ Stereotaxic We have added a sealed electronic sensor, highly immune to outside interference and environmental conditions, to each axis of the manipulator arm. Measurements are accurate to 10 microns in all three directions. Movements in all three directions are now monitored by a large, easy-to-read LED display module, with a resolution selectable from 1 mm to 10 microns. A zeroing function allows the user to set a reference point for targeting specific coordinates on the animal’s skull for injection, implantation, etc. Calculation of distance measurements via the vernier scales is thus no longer necessary…saving the user valuable time and improving accuracy. Code 51900 Digital Lab Standard Stereotaxic Unit 45 or 18 degrees EAR BARS available

Just for Mice Dual™ Stereotaxic Unit Two Stereotaxics on a single base - Accurate to 10 microns (Digital Only) - Delrin® ear bars, including independent adjustment in height - Triple lead screw for fast positioning - Also ideal for neonatal rats and other small rodents. The Just For Mice™ Stereotaxic Instrument was specifically developed for the expanding growth of research being conducted in laboratories using knock-out and transgenic mice. The Just For Mice™ is ideal for researchers in need of a versatile, reliable instrument for stereotaxic procedures with mice and other small rodents. This innovative instrument allows the user to perform surgical procedures on two mice at one time. Precision alignment when using the Just For Mice™ ensures accurate placement of electrodes, micropipettes, cannula, and other devices. Waiting time can be virtually eliminated. For example, in applications that require drying time for cranial plaster, surgery can be performed on one mouse while the cranial cement is drying on the other mouse. We have created two stereotaxic instruments on a single base. The base is 10” x 17” and has two ear bar slots located on each side. A tooth bar and nose clamp secures the nose. A single manipulator arm controls medio-lateral and vertical positioning via lead screws, and antero-posterior movement via dovetail slide movement, with

80mm of travel possible in each direction, allowing access to both ear bar locations. Unique, light ear bars Ear bars may be independently adjusted in height – a unique feature of this stereotaxic instrument – to level the skull. Ear bars are composed of light Delrin® material with tapered points or non-invasive rubber pads or jaw holder cuffs.

Model 310 Nanoliter Syringe Pump The 310 reversible Nano-Pump is used exclusively with Micro-Syringes. Small size, remote Pump and a rugged mounting arm make it ideal for use with micromanipulators, stereotaxic units and other clamping devices. Syringes: from 1 to 100 microliters Minimun Flow : 0,01ul/min Maximum Flow: 26 ml/hour Code 310 Reversible Nano Pump

Quintessential Stereotaxic Injector (QSI) New QSI Injector establishes a new standard of versatility and control. Its unmatched range of volumes and flow rates make it perfect for research requiring precise injection and/or withdrawal of minute volumes. The QSI allows progressive visual monitoring of the injection and withdrawal process. This new injector is ideal for stereotaxic injection allowing the user to accurately control the volume and flow rate of injections without wasting precious fluids in excessively long tubing. The fluid goes directly through a needle on the syringe, mounted directly on the stereotaxic instrument. Only the Quintessential Stereotaxic Injector enables the researcher to set volumes as small as 1 picoliter and flow rates from 0.05 nl/min to 520 μl/min. It works with syringes from 0.5ul up to 250μl. Code 53311 Quintessential Stereotaxic Injector (QSI)

Manual Stereotaxic Injector The Manual Stereotaxic Injector mounts easily on a Lab Standard, Digital Lab Standard, or most other stereotaxic instruments. Injection directly through a needle on the syringe avoids the compliance issues that arise when injections are forced through plastic tubing. The injector has a universal adaptor for all Hamilton 700, 7000, or Gas-Tight Series syringes, ranging from 1 to 100 µl sizes, and enables a wide range of volumes to be delivered. Volumes as small as 200 picoliters may be infused. Plumber adaptor allows both infusion and withdrawal operation. Precise withdrawal mechanism makes it simple to pick up even one small (amount) dose! This results in minimal waste of precious samples and prevents degradation of samples due to long-term storage of multiple doses in the syringe at room temperature. With precise manual control, infusions can be as slow as required; slow infusions are more likely to stay in place, and not forced back along the needle track, since the neural tissue has more time to adjust to the incoming fluid.
