Mouse/Neonatal Rat Adaptor, 18°and 45°Ear Bars Included

Cat No.: RWD-68030

 
Description

The 68030 Mouse/Neonatal Rat Adaptor is a highly specialized accessory for stereotaxic instruments, engineered to provide secure, noninvasive, and adjustable head fixation for both mice and neonatal rats. This adaptor includes both 18° (68034) and 45° (68313) ear bars, offering flexible options for experimental positioning and compatibility with a wide range of research protocols.
 

Specifications:

• Dual Ear Bar Options:

  • Comes standard with both 18° and 45° ear bars, allowing researchers to select the optimal angle for their specific experimental needs.

• Noninvasive Neonatal Rat Fixation:

  • Employs a cheekbone locker in place of traditional ear bars for neonatal rats, addressing the absence of an ear canal and providing stable, noninvasive head fixation.

• Resin Ear Bars with Treated Tips:

  • Ear bars are made of resin with specially treated tips to ensure a firm hold without damaging the skull, suitable for delicate mouse and neonatal rat skulls.

• Flexible, Multi-Angle Adjustment:

  • Height of the ear bar and earsticks can be flexibly adjusted to a maximum range of 20 mm, ensuring precise and reproducible head positioning.

• Scales and Precision Adjustment:

  • Features scales on the incisor and ear bars for precise positioning; height can be adjusted flexibly for experiments from different angles.

• Extended Base Plate:

  • Provides an expanded operating area for improved access during procedures, especially beneficial for neonatal mouse and rat work.

• Compatibility:

  • Easily integrates with standard RWD and other major stereotaxic frames, supporting a variety of animal surgery and modeling solutions.

• Application Scope:

  • Ideal for neuroscience, developmental biology, and behavioral research requiring stable and reproducible head fixation in mice and neonatal rats.
