Rodent Brain Matrices ( RBM ), Electron Microscopy Sciences

Rodent Brain Matrices (RBM) are designed to aid the basic research scientist in the free-hand dissection of rodent brains. A matrix allows the investigator to slice either coronal (perpendicular to center line) or sagittal (parallel to center line) sections through the brain at intervals as small as 1 mm. All RBMs are identical and durable to ensure reproducible sections.

RBMs are constructed from high grade zinc to allow for rapid temperature equilibration, easy cleaning, and sterilization. The matrices are designed to accommodate the brains of rodents placed ventral side up. The channels are precisely cut at 1 mm intervals and 0.3 mm wide
Overall Measurements: 6.9 L x 6.9 W x 3.8 H cm (2¾ x 2¾ x 1½")

Applications:
Biochemical Pharmacology-The reproducible removal of small brain regions (i.e. discrete terminal fields or nuclei) for biochemical analysis, such as the determination of neurotransmitter and metabolite concentrations. Individual brain areas may be either dissected or micropunched from the slices formed.
Anatomy-Precise blocking of the brain prior to microtome sectioning.
Neurophysiology-Reproducible blocking of the brain prior to vibratome sectioning.
