These high quality Brain Matrices are designed for freehand slicing of discrete regions of the brain. They allow slicing of either coronal or sagittal sections through the brain at intervals of 1mm and of 2mm for large brains. The all-metal design with a hard, durable chrome coating offers superior cooling properties. They may be heated, sterilized, chilled and scrubbed clean without damaging the surfaces. All Brain Matrices of the same animal are identical to give reproducible sections. They are ideal for precise and reproducible blocking of living or fixed brain tissue in: Anatomy: Precise blocking of the brain prior to microtome sectioning; Neurophysiology: Reproducible blocking of the brain prior to sectioning; and Biochemical Pharmacology: Reproducible removal of small brain regions for biochemical analysis. Below are selected product examples linked to ordering information:
These Matrices may be heated, sterilized, chilled and scrubbed clean without damaging the surfaces. Precise, reproducible blocking of living or fixed brain tissue.
To keep tissue cool and viable, chill matrices before use.

Matrix Ordering Information
This first of its kind Marmoset Brain Matrix is precisely machined from stainless steel, designed for freehand slicing of discrete regions of the brain. It allows slicing of coronal sections at intervals of 1mm as well as a mid-line sagittal cut to separate left and right hemispheres.
The high quality stainless steel is very durable and may be heated, sterilized, chilled and scrubbed clean without damaging the matrix. There is a cutout on the underside of the matrix, allowing the section channels to pass completely through the steel block and facilitate improved cleaning.
To keep tissue cool and viable, chill matrices before use. It is advised to not let tissue or debris dry onto the matrix, but rather soak the matrix immediately after use for easier cleaning. We recommend cleaning with a fine bristled tooth brush and/or ultrasonic cleaner.

Blades for use in Brain Matrices
Matrices are precisely machined to insure reproducible sections. This will allow the investigator to slice either coronal (perpendicular to center line) or sagittal (parallel to center line) sections at 1mm intervals.
It is advisable to not let any tissue dry onto the matrix but rather soak the matrix immediately after use for easier cleaning.
It is highly recommended to soak and clean the matrix each time immediately after use, not allowing the remaining tissue to dry.
The Tumor Matrices are made of stainless steel and come with two sizes of wells, 8mm and 12mm diameter. The depth of the cavity is 4.8mm. The thickness of the slices is 0.5mm.
An economical alternative to metal brain matrices. The acrylic coronal brain matrices have the additional feature of a mid-line sagittal cut to facilitate the separation of the left and right hemispheres. All divisions are 1mm apart.
