Classic and Proven U-Frame Design for Small Animals

The WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments has been a standard in research labs for nearly five decades. The time-proven 'U'-Frame design provides stability and adaptability while the instrument's exclusive, triple-lead screws allow for smooth, consistent movements with rapid positioning. The WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments includes a 100 micron 3-axes, left-hand manipulator arm, rat adaptor, traditional (18˚) ear bars, and corner clamp probe holder. Available as dual, ultra-precise, digital or motorized.

NEW FEATURE: The ONLY stereotaxic instrument line on the market with an integrated warming base included on all units! Simply purchase the Temperature Control Box 1 (505375), or Temperature Control Box 2 (505376) and probe (505377) to use the warming function.

Ultra-Precise Manipulators are ideal for use in mice and rats where high-accuracy positioning is required. Up to 80mm of travel is available in all directions with up to 90° angle adjustment in either the anterior-posterior or medial-lateral planes. Ultra-Precise Manipulators are compatible with all our Premium Stereotaxic Instruments frames.

Versatile Positioning

The manipulator arm controls medial-lateral and ventral-dorsal using exclusive triple lead screws for faster positioning, and anterior-posterior movement via dovetail slide movement, with 80mm of travel possible in each direction. A universal joint allows the researcher to change the angle of the probe up to 90° in either the anterior-posterior or mediallateral planes. The improved locking mechanism on the WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments will hold any angle position without slipping. And of course, it also provides an absolute lock at 90° vertical.

Easily-Read Scales

All scales are oriented to be easily read from the open end of the ‘U’ — the position from which most scientists prefer to work.

The scale numerals are large, and easy to read. The scale lines are laser engraved, to allow the finest possible permanent marking of scales on all 3 axes. Precise alignment with facing vernier scales gives accurate resolution to 100 microns.

Smooth, Consistent Movements

The WPI Rat Stereotaxic Instruments exclusive, triple-lead screws allow smooth consistent movements with the fastest positioning possible.

Included Components

Both 505211 and 505216 include the U-frame Base, Manipulator Arm(s) 505249 Standard Probe Holder(s) with corner clamp and 505239 Rat Adaptor (Nose Clamp Assembly and 18° Taper Ear Bars).

The 505269 and 505272 include Non-Puncture 45° Taper Ear Bars instead of 18° Taper Ear Bars (not shown).

Warmer ready base

Stereotaxic Base Plates are designed to be integrated with a warmer system (sold separately) and are used to maintain body temperature throughout surgical procedures. Thermal heating pads are embedded into stereotaxic base plates to avoid cross contamination with easy clean-up and maintain a sterile environment during stereotaxic surgery. In addition, it can be used as a general warming system or with a rectal thermal probe (sold separately) for homeothermic regulation.
