Conduct Science coronal brain matrices are crafted from stainless steel. They aid in the dissection of specific regions of a rodent brain, enabling the investigator to slice repeatable coronal sections of the sample. This provides precise blocking before microtome sectioning and the excision of small, reproducible brain regions for biochemical analysis, such as the determination of metabolite and neurotransmitter concentrations. Individual areas of the brain may be dissected, stained, or micro punched from the slices created.

Our coronal brain matrices are specifically designed and developed for long-term use. They are sturdy and can be autoclaved, heated, chilled, and even used by undergrads. They also have the additional feature of a mid-line cut to facilitate splitting of the left and right hemispheres.

Each matrix has been precisely machined to ensure reproducible sections. This allows the investigator to slice coronal sections at 1mm intervals. Olfactory and spinal notches included. Other sizes and materials are available upon request. Feel free to contact Technical Support for additional information.
