Stoelting™ Lab Standard™ Stereotaxic Instrument for Rats

Description

• Large, easy to read vernier scales Scales are laser engraved — accurate to 100 microns Triple lead screws for fast positioning 80 mm of vertical, lateral and anterior-posterior travel Absolute lock at 90° (vertical) Brass bushings in manipulator arm permit electrical grounding Accessories available for use with a wide variety of small animals Adaptors available for use with mice, neonatal rats, birds and other species Gas anesthesia compatible Easily cleaned durable surface Warmer ready base compatible with Stoelting Rodent Warmer System Versatile Positioning Manipulator arm controls medial-lateral and ventral-dorsal using exclusive triple lead screws for faster positioning, and anterior-posterior movement via dovetail slide movement, with 80mm of travel possible in each direction
• Universal joint allows the researcher to change the angle of the probe up to 90° in either the anterior-posterior or mediallateral planes
• Improved locking mechanism on the Lab Standard™ will hold any angle position without slipping and provides an absolute lock at 90° vertical
• Easily-Read Scales Oriented to be easily read from the open end of the U Numerals are large and easy to read
• Scale lines are laser engraved, to allow the finest possible permanent marking of scales on all 3 axes
• Precise alignment with facing vernier scales gives accurate resolution to 100 microns
• Smooth, Consistent Movements - Triple-lead screws allow smooth consistent movements with the fastest positioning possible
• Warmer ready base Base Plates are designed to be integrated with the Stoelting Rodent Warmer System (sold separately) and are used to maintain body temperature throughout surgical procedures
• Thermal heating pads are embedded into base plates to avoid cross contamination with easy clean-up and maintain a sterile environment during stereotaxic surgery
• Can be used as a general warming system or with a rectal thermal probe (sold separately) for homeothermic regulation.
