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.

Ultra-Precise Features:

• 10 Micron Resolution
• Target Small Brain Regions with Confidence
• Upgrade to ANY Premium Stereotaxic frames and most other brands

Features

• Large, easy to read vernier scales Scales are laser engraved — accurate to 100 microns
• Triple lead screws for fast positioning 80 mm of vertical, lateral and anterior-posterior travel
• Absolute lock at 90 degrees (vertical)
• Brass bushings in manipulator arm permit electrical grounding
• Accessories available for use with a wide variety of small animals
• Adaptors available for use with mice, neonatal rats, birds and other species
• Gas anesthesia compatible
• Easily cleaned durable surface
• Warmer ready base

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

All items on this page include the U-frame Base, Manipulator Arm(s), and 505249 Standard Probe Holder(s) with corner clamp

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.
