The Precision Brain slicer is designed to aid the basic research scientist in the free hand dissection of discrete regions of the rodent brain. It allows the investigator to slice either coronal or sagittal sections through the brain (including the olfactory bulbs) at intervals as small as 1 mm. All PBS’s are identical to insure reproducible sections on a day to day, year to year basis.



Biochemical Pharmacology: The reproducible removal of small brain regions 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 vibrotome sectioning.
