WPI Premium Digital Rat Stereotaxic Frames

Time-proven U-Frame design concept, rugged construction and adaptability coupled with digital display to offer greater speed of operation and increased accuracy 

Saves Time and Improves Accuracy

• Easy-to-read digital display and sealed electronic sensors operation of the instrument is easy and precise
• Simply move your probe to an established reference point (e.g. Bregma), zero the LED display and move to the desired coordinates

 Features

• Zeroing function for targeting specific coordinates
• Easy-to-read digital display offers 10 micron resolution in all three axes
• Triple-lead screws for fast positioning
• 80mm of dorsal-ventral, medial-lateral and anterior-posterior travel
• Absolute lock at 90° vertical
• Adaptors available for mice, neonatal rats, birds and most other species
• Easily cleaned,durable surface
• Warmer ready base that is compatible with the Rodent Warmer Systems

Zeroing Function

A zeroing function allows the user to set a reference point for targeting specific coordinates on the animal’s skull for injection, implantation, etc. Calculation of distance measurements via the vernier scales is thus no longer necessary…saving the user valuable time and improving accuracy. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

• Find reference point, e.g. Bregma
• Reset zero on touch screen display
• Move to the desired coordinates

Memory

Target coordinates can be programmed into the memory of the 505351 and 505354 Digital WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments.

Versatility of Positioning

The universal joint allows the investigator to angle the probe in either the anterior-posterior or the lateral-medial planes. The improved locking mechanism on the WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments will hold any angled position without slippage. Of course, it also provides an absolute lock at the vertical position. The manipulator arm may be swiveled out of the way for convenience in installing the animal or performing a procedure, then returned to the same point reliably with the aid of the locking face block above the swivel joint.
