Mouse Brain Matrix - Coronal, 0.5 mm, Stainless Steel, 40-75 g

Cat No.: RWD-68713 Description

This Mouse Brain Matrix is a precision-machined instrument designed for reproducible coronal sectioning of mouse brains weighing 40-75 grams. This matrix enables researchers to prepare ultra-thin, anatomically accurate coronal slices at 0.5 mm intervals, supporting high-resolution studies in neuroanatomy, pathology, and molecular biology.
 

Specifications

• Sectioning Precision:
  Allows for the preparation of superfine coronal brain slices at 0.5 mm intervals, ideal for detailed anatomical mapping, pathological tissue sectioning, TTC staining, and region-specific biochemical assays.

• Material and Durability:
  Manufactured from highly polished stainless steel for maximum durability. The matrix resists damage from thermal pressure, mechanical impact, and harsh laboratory chemicals, and can be repeatedly heated, chilled, autoclaved, and scrubbed without surface degradation.

• Design and Compatibility:

  • Optimized for mouse brains weighing 40-75 g

  • Anatomically proportioned channels for precise and reproducible blocking

  • Includes a midline sagittal cut to facilitate splitting the brain into left and right hemispheres

  • Suitable for both fresh and fixed tissue; can be chilled for experiments involving frozen tissue

• Dimensions:

  • A: 3.18 mm

  • B: 11.1 mm

  • C: 8.73 mm

  • D: 19.1 mm

  • E: 12.5 mm

  • Depth: 7.4 mm

• Applications:

  • Preparation of thin coronal brain sections for high-resolution histology, neurochemistry, and molecular studies

  • Dissection and blocking prior to microtome sectioning

  • Removal of discrete brain regions for biochemical or pharmacological analysis

  • Suitable for pharmacokinetic studies, neurophysiology, and precise blocking for microtome sectioning
