Rodent Brain Matrices
WPI offers one of the largest selections of
brain matrices available. Made of acrylic,
or stainless steel, these matrices are sturdy
and can be heated, chilled, autoclaved
(stainless steel only), scrubbed -- and
stand up to rigorous daily use. Coronal
matrices have the additional feature of a
mid-line sagittal cut to facilitate splitting
of the left and right hemispheres. Sections
can be as fine as 1-mm. The olfactory/
spinal/notch is cut into each matrix.

The small animal guillotine has been completely
redesigned for ease of use and extra added
safety features. The blades are drawn together
by magnetic force to ensure a clean and precise
cut through very strong bones and skin.
There is a large base for stability, long handle for
extra leverage, spring action so the blades can
not fall down unexpectedly, hardened stainless
blades for endurance, simplified construction for
easy maintenance. The fluoropolymer coated
surface on the base makes cleaning easy.
The guillotine is considered one of the most
humane methods to sacrifice a subject.
