Why Choose Rapidaccu Brain Matrices?

High Precision

CNC-machined channels ensure precise interval spacing for consistent coronal and sagittal slicing every time.

Durable Materials

Available in high-grade stainless steel and optical-quality acrylic to suit different sterilization needs.

Lab Ready

Designed to withstand rigorous laboratory use, including heat sterilization and chemical cleaning.

Versatile Sizes

Standard models for mice and rats, with customization options for specific research requirements.

Stainless Steel Brain Matrices

The gold standard for durability. Our stainless steel matrices are engineered to last a lifetime in the laboratory environment.

Autoclavable

Fully capable of withstanding high-temperature autoclaving cycles for complete sterilization between subjects.

Thermal Stability

Can be chilled on ice prior to use to help maintain tissue integrity and firmness during the dissection process.

Corrosion Resistant

Constructed from premium surgical-grade steel that resists rust, oxidation, and chemical degradation.

Acrylic Brain Matrices

Rapidaccu acrylic matrices offer excellent visibility, allowing researchers to monitor tissue placement closely. These cost-effective alternatives are precision-machined to the same exacting standards as our steel models.

  • Transparent for superior visualization
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Economical for high-volume labs

Why Choose Acrylic?

Perfect for educational settings and general-purpose slicing where autoclaving is not strictly required. The clear material aids in precise alignment of the brain within the matrix cavity.

Sagittal and Coronal Sections

We provide comprehensive solutions for different sectioning orientations to support diverse neuroscientific investigations.

Coronal Matrices

Designed to facilitate slicing perpendicular to the neuraxis. Essential for examining structures from the frontal view. Our coronal matrices feature precisely machined channels allowing for sections as thin as 1mm.

Sagittal Matrices

Engineered for longitudinal slicing parallel to the midline. These matrices are critical for analyzing lateral distribution of neural pathways. Available for both mouse and rat brain tissues.

Applications in Neuroscience

Histological Preparation

Prepare uniform tissue blocks for subsequent microtome or cryostat sectioning with extreme consistency.

Biochemical Analysis

Dissect specific brain regions accurately for protein, DNA, or RNA extraction and analysis.

Pharmacological Studies

Evaluate drug distribution and pharmacokinetic effects in specific anatomical coordinates.

Technical Specifications

Manufactured to strict tolerances for compatibility and consistency.

Precision Engineering

Every matrix undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure channel width accuracy. Our designs prevent blade wobbling while allowing smooth cutting action.

ISO Compliant Standards
Channel Width 0.3mm (Universal Fit)
Slice Interval 1.0mm (Standard)
Material A 304/316 Stainless Steel
Material B Optical Grade Acrylic
Blade Compatibility Standard Double-Edge

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean the stainless steel brain matrix?

Stainless steel matrices are highly durable. They can be cleaned with enzymatic detergents, ultrasonic cleaners, and are fully autoclavable. Avoid using harsh acids that might pit the surface over extended periods.

What is the difference between acrylic and steel matrices?

Acrylic matrices are transparent, allowing for visual confirmation of tissue placement, but they cannot be autoclaved. Stainless steel is opaque but offers superior durability, weight for stability, and is autoclavable for sterile workflows.

Can you manufacture matrices for other species?

Yes. While our standard stock includes mouse and rat matrices, we offer custom manufacturing services for other research animals (e.g., guinea pig, rabbit) based on your specific dimensional requirements.

What types of blades should be used?

Our brain matrices are designed to be compatible with standard double-edged razor blades commonly found in laboratories. The channel width is optimized to guide these blades precisely without binding.
