System Overview
Stereotaxic instruments are widely used in many fields such as neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neurosurgery etc.
RWD offers a series of stereotaxic instruments to meet the experimental needs of rat, mouse, guinea pig, tree shrew, cat, rabbit, dog, monkey, and other animal models. Moreover, RWD stereotaxic instrument is fully equipped, which greatly improves the applicability of each stereotaxic instrument.
So, how to choose the most suitable stereotaxic instrument?
Firstly, according to the experimental objective and type of experiment, you can choose between the following types of frames: Standard, Compact, Rotational, or Large Animal.
Secondly, you can choose between Standard, Digital, or Automatic which will provide different precision readings: Standard (100um), Digital (10um), or Automatic (1um).
In addition, all manual stereotaxic instruments can be upgraded into digital stereotaxic instruments, while the single manipulator can be upgraded into the double-manipulator and converted easily: Single Manipulator or Dual Manipulator.
Models
Standard Stereotaxic Instruments
Classic U-type base design, three-dimensional manipulator, ear bars, standard probe holder (other options available), and anesthesia adaptors for rats, mice, birds, cats, and other animals. Accurate to 100um. Frame with Dual Manipulators contains an extra three-dimensional manipulator.
Desktop Digital Stereotaxic Instruments
Digital displacement display for higher accuracy and efficiency! Precise displacement sensor accurate to 10um. Contains base plate, three-dimensional manipulator, ear bars, standard probe holder (other options available), optional adaptors for rats, mice, birds, cats, and other animals, and digital display module. Frame with Dual Manipulators contains an extra three-dimensional manipulator and digital display module.
Compact Mouse Stereotaxic Instruments
Smaller base plate and specific fixed base just for mice speeds up the setup process. Dorsal/Ventral adjustment for adaptor and ear bar is 20mm. Optional upgrades to Dual Manipulators and/or digital display module.
Portable Rat & Mouse Stereotaxic Instruments
Complete setup for rats and mice, includes base plate, three-dimensional manipulator, mouse and rat adaptors, rat 18° ear bars and mouse 60° ear bars, and standard probe holder (other options available). Upgrade to the digital version, which includes the digital display module.
Large Animal Stereotaxic Instruments
Complete setup includes base plate, left and right two-dimensional manipulators, optional adaptors available for dogs, monkeys, pigs, and other large animals, ear bars. The unique jaw plate design stabilizes animals’ heads of varying weights.
Dog/Monkey MRI Stereotaxic Instruments
Completely made of plastic materials, MRI compatible, also suitable for nuclear environments. Holds up to six manipulator arms.
69100 Rotational Digital Stereotaxic Frame for Mice and Rat
The mouse head can be easily rotated flexibility so as to adjust the level of the skull. The accuracy of mediolateral rotation perfectly solves the bleeding problem when you inject through the venous sinus. Alignment Indicator can feedback whether the height of the animal’s head is horizontal. Centering Scope helps find Bregma and Lambda points. And you don’t need to set up Bregma repeatedly.
71000 Automated Stereotaxic Instrument
71000 is an automated and intelligent stereotaxic instrument with high precision (1 μm). The software has built-in rat and mouse brain atlas and automatic procedures (skull window, tissue removal and automated injection procedure), which can be observing the position of the probe relative to the brain area is convenient and efficient, and the operation is easy to use, greatly reducing the errors and damage caused by manual operation. In addition, it has an anti-collision function to prevent animal damage caused by wrong movement, which is safer.
