Stereotaxic for Mouse, Single Manipulator, Portable. (Basic module)

Cat No.: RWD-68805


Description

The 68805 Portable Stereotaxic Instrument represents a significant innovation in stereotaxic design, eliminating the traditional U-shaped frame in favor of a compact, dedicated mouse platform that dramatically increases operational workspace while maintaining high-precision targeting capabilities. This single-manipulator system features a specialized 255×255mm fixed base specifically engineered for mouse neuroscience research, enabling faster setup and more efficient stereotaxic procedures with 100μm (0.1mm) resolution accuracy.

Features:

• Enhanced Operational Workspace:
  The innovative adapter-block design that replaces the conventional U-frame significantly expands the available working area around the subject, improving access for surgical instruments, microscopes, and imaging equipment.

• Precision Skull Leveling System:
  Features independent height adjustment for both palate clip (0–20mm) and ear bars (0–20mm), enabling precise dorsal-ventral alignment of the mouse skull—critical for accurate stereotaxic targeting.

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

• High-Precision Manipulation:
  The 3-axis manipulator (left) delivers 100μm resolution across an 80mm working distance in all dimensions (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, dorsal-ventral), supporting accurate targeting of small brain structures.

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