The Brain Mold is a specialized tool for preparing brain tissue sections. Its unique contour-mimicking design ensures secure fixation of brain specimens. With standardized blade edges, it guarantees consistent size, shape, and position of sections—greatly improving the reproducibility and precision of experiments.
Key Features
- High-Quality Stainless Steel Construction: Made of premium stainless steel, it supports rapid heating/cooling, autoclaving, and alcohol immersion sterilization. Durable for long-term use, ensuring consistent section quality even after repeated operations.
- Versatile Sectioning Options: Two common sectioning orientations are available:
- Sagittal section: Longitudinal section parallel to the brain's midline (referred to as "coronal section" in application descriptions).
- Coronal section: Transverse section perpendicular to the brain's midline (referred to as "sagittal section" in application descriptions).
- Adjustable Section Thickness: Standard thickness options include 0.5mm and 1.0mm; 2.0mm thickness is commonly used for larger animals (e.g., monkeys, beagles, rabbits).
Sectioning Orientation Details
| Orientation Name | Definition (Relative to Brain Midline) | Application Term |
|---|---|---|
| Sagittal Section | Longitudinal section (parallel to midline) | Referred to as "Coronal" in practice |
| Coronal Section | Transverse section (perpendicular to midline) | Referred to as "Sagittal" in practice |
