Rat Brain Matrix - Sagittal, 1 mm, Stainless Steel, 175-300g

Cat. No.: RWD-68710 Description

This Rat Brain Matrix is a precision-machined instrument engineered for reproducible sagittal sectioning of rat brains weighing 175-300 grams. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, this matrix is built for durability and long-term use in demanding laboratory environments.
 

Specifications

• Sectioning Precision:
  Enables preparation of uniform sagittal brain slices at 1 mm intervals, supporting accurate anatomical, pathological, and biochemical studies.

• Material and Construction:
  Made from high-grade, electroless-plated stainless steel for strong durability. The matrix can be heated, chilled, autoclaved, and scrubbed, withstanding harsh chemicals and repeated sterilization without surface degradation or loss of precision.
