Continuous monitoring of activity and temperature up to 60 days!
Isolated Organ Baths have been designed for accurate recording of isometric or isotonic tissue contraction/release. Available as 1,2, or 4-channel turn-key systems. Used in classic Pharmacology research and teaching worldwide since 1960s!
Metabolic cages provide accurate samples of effectively separated rodent waste.
Wires for use with glass pipette microelectrodes or the Digital Midgard Current Source.
If doing protein phosphorylation — no other method compares! Microwave fixation is the fastest and most effective known method of halting brain chemical activity. Several important brain chemicals, including acetylcholine, dopamine, DARRP, HVA, and c-AMP begin changing state rapidly at death.
Precisely machined and highly polished to ensure reproducible sectioning.
These matrices are precisely machined and highly polished to ensure reproducible sectioning. Rat and mouse brain matrices are available. Coronal and sagittal sections at 1 mm intervals. All coronal brain matrices have an additional mid-line sagittal cut to aid in the separation of the left and right hemispheres. The mouse brain matrices can also be used on neonatal rat brains. Divisions are 1 mm apart.
When your samples need to be sliced as thinly as possible.
We have pushed technology to the limit to give researchers the opportunity to dissect rodent brains into thin 0.5mm coronal or sagittal slices using matrices.
Last longer, withstand repeated cleaning and autoclave sterilizing and can be used with frozen tissues.
Fast production of living tissue slices.
Originally designed to prepare thin slices of living brain, the tissue slicer is also excellent for slicing other tissues, blocking fixed tissue for histology, and slicing electrophoretic gels. Sections as thin as 150 microns can be reliably prepared.
The McIlwain™ Tissue Chopper is a proven instrument for rapidly sectioning living or fixed tissue without freezing or embedding to harden the tissue. It cuts living tissue into slices, cubes, arterial rings, etc. with a minimum of functional disturbance. These preparations can be used in studies of metabolism or for electrophysiology. The McIlwain™ Tissue Chopper may also be used to cube fixed tissue for araldite embedding and EM.
Digital display of systolic, diastolic, and mean pressure, plus heart rate. These highly accurate monitors are used with implanted catheters and a transducer to monitor blood pressure directly. They can be used to present a digital display of blood pressure (mean, diastolic, or systolic) or heart rate; or as a front end signal conditioner for data acquisition.
A revolutionary design bringing non-invasive blood pressure testing to another level.
a frst for laboratory research equipment a true turn-key system when it is key critical for determing accurate, consistent blood pressure on mice, rats or any other laboratory animal test subject. A true, compact, simple yet versatile system that can test from a single up to 200 animals at a time with independent control of each channel.
While designed specifically for mice, the MiniVent can be used for any animals (e.g. birds and perinatal rats) which require tidal volumes in the range of 30-350 µl. The MicroVent Ventilator is ideal for very small animals, even perinatal mice, which require tidal volumes in the range of 0-130 µl. The MidiVent was designed specifically for large mice, but can be used for any animal (e.g. small rats, shrew, hamster) which require tidal volumes in the range of 60-700 µl. All three feature respiratory rates of 60-400 breaths per minute.
Quiet, highspeed solenoid valves built into the instrument control airflow to the animal.
The built-in air pump provides the source of inspired air. Quiet, highspeed solenoid valves built into the instrument control airflow to the animal. Ports are provided for the collection of expired air for any desired analysis. All of the standard control parameters, (e.g., cycling rate, volume and inspiration time), can be precisely regulated. Ventilatory rate is set on a ten-turn dial, and displayed on an LED digital display. A front-panel flowmeter with a needle valve controls inspiratory flowrate. Inspiratory time is controlled by a ten-turn dial, or through a parallel port.
Considered one of the most humane methods of sacrificing laboratory rodents.
Stoelting's small animal decapitator has hardened and ground surgical stainless steel blades, aluminum base and stainless steel hardware. With its 1 1/2" square maximum blade opening, it is suitable for decapitating rats, mice and other small animals. The decapitator cuts cleanly and quickly through bone and tissue. The base has four holes for bench mounting. The large animal decapitator is similar to our small animal decapitator, but with maximum blade opening of 4 inches square. For use with rabbits, small monkeys and other large sized animals.
A completely humane and efficient means of sacrificing laboratory rodents bloodlessly.
The Cervical Dislocator is a completely humane and efficient means of sacrificing laboratory rodents bloodlessly. Evidence indicates that the brain stem is terminated instantly by a blow from the metal bar. There is no external wound, and so there is no blood to clean up, and no smell of blood to alert remaining animals. Pathogens or viruses are not spread. Blood and internal organs remain uncontaminated.
The Microprobe digital thermometer is versatile, accurate and perfectly suited for measuring core body temperature in laboratory animals. The Microprobe Thermometer provides fast, precise readings, usually under five seconds. It has a 0.1°C resolution and a temperature range from -100 to 200°C.
Provides accurate temperature control in a variety of laboratory applications.
The general purpose Temperature Controller (TC) provides accurate temperature control in a variety of laboratory applications. Combined with a heat lamp or heating pad, the TC Unit may be used to maintain the body temperature of anesthetized animals during surgery or stereotaxic procedures. Small animal cages are easily warmed with a heat lamp. Realizing that laboratory applications are diverse, Stoelting can provide several versions of the TC.
Designed to actively maintain an animal’s body temperature at a preset target value.
This Homeothermic Blanket and temperature control system is designed to actively maintain an animal’s body temperature at a preset target value. A 2.0 mm temperature probe provides feedback to the controller about the animal’s core body temperature. The controller adjusts current to the heating pad to maintain the desired body temperature.
This product is perfect for rodents and other small animal species. The animal is placed inside the container and a cartridge is activated, thereby sending carbon dioxide into the chamber. A flow limiting orifice and noise muffler are incorporated into the system preventing distress in the animals. The specimen container is made of durable plastic and can be easily cleaned and/or replaced.
Disposable plastic restraint cones hold the animal safely in position for injections through the plastic bag, for decapitation, for cervical dislocation, or for examination of collected field specimens such as field mice or rats. The scientist avoids contact with feces or urine, and avoids bites and scratches. The animal is easily loaded into the cone at the wide end, and heads for the breathing hole at the small end. Sold in packs of 50.
