Stereotaxic for Mouse, Dual Manipulators, Portable. (Basic module)

Cat No.: RWD-68806 Description

The 68806 Portable Mouse Stereotaxic Instrument represents a significant advancement in stereotaxic design for mouse neurological research, featuring dual manipulators for bilateral operations and simultaneous procedures. This innovative instrument eliminates the traditional U-shaped frame, dramatically expanding the operational workspace while maintaining high-precision targeting capabilities. Engineered specifically for mouse research, this dual-manipulator system offers 100μm (0.1mm) accuracy across an 80mm working distance in all dimensions, supporting a wide range of neuroscience applications from electrophysiological recordings to precise brain injections.
 

Features:

• Dual Manipulator Configuration:
  Features both left (68401) and right (68402) 3-axis manipulators, enabling bilateral brain targeting, comparative procedures, or simultaneous recording and manipulation—significantly enhancing experimental possibilities.

• Innovative Open Architecture Design:
  The adapter-block design that replaces the traditional U-frame creates substantially more workspace around the animal, improving access for surgical instruments, microscopes, and imaging equipment.

• Precision Skull Leveling System:
  Independent height adjustment for both palate clip (0–20mm) and ear bars (0–20mm) enables precise dorsal-ventral alignment of the mouse skull—critical for accurate stereotaxic targeting based on established brain atlases.

• Specialized Polymer Ear Bars:
  Utilizes lightweight polyoxymethylene resin ear bars with laser-engraved 1mm resolution scales and four distinct fixation points, providing secure yet atraumatic head fixation while minimizing tissue damage compared to metal alternatives.

• Enhanced Stability Engineering:
  Dual-lead screw design ensures smooth, stable, and accurate manipulation with minimal backlash, preventing drift during delicate stereotaxic procedures.

• Temperature-Resistant Performance:
  Maintains calibrated accuracy and smooth operation across variable laboratory temperatures.

• Error-Prevention Design:
  Unique anti-clockwise UP mark on adjustment knobs prevents incorrect operation, while separate vertical lock and fixing knobs ensure secured positioning at any angle.
