Description
The innovative design of our Rat/Mouse Stereotaxic Instrument provides users with the ability to perform surgeries on both Mice and Rats on the same base. Motorizied versions of these Stereotaxics include customized motors and the state-of-the-art StereoDrive software to allow motorized, computer controlled stereotaxic positioning in all 3 orthogonal axes. The intuitive movement control and integrated stereotaxic atlas enables unprecedented accuracy and higher throughput in all stereotaxic applications.
Overview
Like the classic Lab Standard™, the NEW Standard Stereotaxic Instrument has larger laser engraved vernier scales (accurate to 100 um), 80 mm of ventral-dorsal, medial-lateral and anterior-posterior travel, absolute lock at 90° ventral-dorsal and brass-bushings for electrical grounding. It is available as a digital or motorized model.
But the NEW Standard “design” is what sets it apart:
- Revolutionary vertically-adjusting ear and nose bar posts
- Revolutionary horizontally-adjusting ear and nose bar posts
- Designed for both Rats and Mice all on the same base
- No U-frame, maximizes operating space
- Traditional and non-traumatic Rat ear bars
- Includes the innovative Mouse ear bars
- Includes Mouse and Rat Nose adaptors
Includes the innovative Mouse ear bars
Includes Mouse and Rat nose adaptor
Includes dual tip ear bars with traumatic (18°) and non-traumatic (45°) ear bars

Detail
Motorized StereoDrive Software
Included with Motorized Lab Standard™ Stereotaxic
The StereoDrive Software integrates seamlessly with the precision controlled motors. Motor movement can be executed by using the keyboard arrow keys or clicking on the screen with the mouse.
The software coordinates motor movement of all 3 axes (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, and dorsal-ventral) probe placement in relation to 3-dimensional visual representation of a rat (Paxinos & Watson, 6th Edition) or mouse (Watson, 3rd edition) Brain Atlas.
Features
- Easy calibration
- Software-driven control of stereotaxic movement
- Virtual visualization of probe location
- One micron resolution
- Download coordinates to computer for recall and/or archiving
- Angle adjustments
- Variable speed on 2-axis (dorsal-ventral)
