In Vivo Research

In vivo research provides critical insights into how biological systems function and respond within the complexity of a living organism. From studying neural activity and cardiovascular function to investigating drug delivery and physiological responses, researchers depend on precise instrumentation to collect reliable data while maintaining experimental control. WPI Europe supports these investigations with specialized tools for physiological monitoring, targeted injections, microsurgery, and experimental measurements, helping researchers explore biological mechanisms and advance preclinical discoveries.

MCAO (Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion)

MCAO in mice and rats is widely used as a stroke model. Techniques include direct occlusion of the artery by elctrocoagulation, by Thrombine injection and indirect occlusion from the carotid atrery by occlusion or advancing a "plug" made if a silicone cladded suture into the brain arteries.WPI offers a wide range of tools for surgery including stereomicroscopes, anesthesia equipment, animal temperature control as well as small scissors, forceps and vessel clips. For cautery we offer electrocoagulators, for thrombine injection our Taxic stereotaxic frames with UMP3 pump are ideal and for occlusion of the middle cerebral artery form the carodis we offer silicone adhesives like RTV sealant to increase the diameter of a suture thread.

MCAO Histology

After a succesful experiment histology of the brain is mandatory. WPI offers brain matrices to segment the brain into 1mm slices, perforated spoons to retrieve the slice after staining and microscopes and cameras for inspection and documentation.
