Standard Stereotaxic Instruments

Value-priced standard stereotaxic instruments to meet all basic neuroscience research application requirements. The ‘U’-Frame design provides stability and adaptability. Dual-lead screws ensure stable, accurate and smooth manipulation. The Standard Stereotaxic Instrument includes a 100 micron 3-axes, left-hand manipulator arm, rat adaptor, traditional (18˚) ear bars, and standard probe holder. Other subassembly options are available such as dual arm, mouse adaptor, 45°ear bars, etc.

• Unique UP indicator to prevent incorrect operation
• Double-lead screw design, more stable and accurate operation
• Relieve eyestrain by light interrupted
• Curved nose clamp secure the animal firmly
• Adaptors of rats, mice, birds, cats and other different animal are optional

Technical Parameters

1. Adaptors available for rat, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, etc.
2. Working distance in each dimension is 80 mm with precise alignment to 0.1mm resolution.
3. Vertical direction: 180° rotation and lock at any angles.
4. Horizontal direction: 360° rotation and lock at any angles.
5. Dual-lead screws ensure stable, accurate and smooth manipulation.
6. Accuracy and flexibility can be maintained at variable temperatures.
7. Extended base plate (400mm x 255mm) is applicable for a variety of animal sizes.
8. Unique anti-clockwise UP mark engraved in the knob prevents incorrect operation.
9. Vertical lock and fixing knob are separated to ensure accurate function at any angle.
10. To ensure a precise designed lateral rotation operating space, the distance between knob and the U-shaped frame is 28mm.
11. Laser engraved scales enable comfortable reading.
12. Curved nose clamp design secures the head of animals.
13. Ear bar locked plate pressing instead of clamping ensures more stability.
14. Syringe pump, micro camera and drill can be attached to instruments.
