Stainless Steel Brain Matrices
Brain matrices were developed to better help the medical research community prepare discrete regions in fresh or preserved tissue samples.
The more durable stainless steel matrices are useful when heat transfer or the maintenance of a specific temperature range is required in your scientific protocol.
We have selected our matrices to section tissue slices to a thickness as small as approximately 0.5 mm (sections can vary from 0.5 to 0.75 mm), depending upon what brain matrix design you choose to use. Ordinary industrial razor blades are generally used to slice the brain and/or tissue material. We recommend that the cutting blade be wetted with saline to act as a lubricant before shearing the target tissue. Micron tissue punches are also available for removal of specific areas of the tissues.
The coronal RBMs have the additional feature of a mid-line sagittal cut to facilitate the splitting of the left and right hemispheres. Sections can be as fine as 1 mm.
- Repeatable slices to 0.5 mm providing precise blocking prior to sectioning
- Can be chilled or sterilized

Glass Syringe, 5 mL
For the SomnoSuite® anesthesia system
Kent Scientific recommends the smallest syringe size that will accommodate the duration of your application. Using a large syringe size with very low flow rates can cause uneven anesthetic delivery.
5 mL size for use with mice
Glass Syringe, 10 mL
For the SomnoSuite® anesthesia system
Kent Scientific recommends the smallest syringe size that will accommodate the duration of your application. Using a large syringe size with very low flow rates can cause uneven anesthetic delivery.
- 10 mL size for use with rats
Preset Pressure Reducer
For the SomnoSuite® and SomnoFlo® anesthesia systems that use compressed gas
SomnoFlo® Low-Flow vaporizers accept a maximum compressed gas pressure of 15 psi. If your compressed gas source exceeds 15 psi, a preset pressure reducer is required. The Preset Pressure Reducer can reduce the incoming pressure to the vaporizer from as high as 100 psi down to 15 psi. Includes 12″ tubing and connectors and 10′ high pressure oxygen hose with DISS fitting.
For use with SomnoSuite® and SomnoFlo®
Instrument Micro Bead Sterilizer
This compact Micro Bead Sterilizer provides an easy way to sterilize your surgical instruments efficiently and effectively. The unit’s chamber is loaded with the included glass beads that are heated up to 300°C, eliminating bacteria, spores and other microorganisms.
Simply insert your instrument into the bead sterilizer, wait 15 seconds, and the portion of the instrument in the beads is sterilized.

Far Infrared Warming Pads with Controller for Small Animal Recovery
Safely and efficiently keep your animal warm before, during, and after surgery.
Far infrared warming pad with controller designed to provide safe, controlled warming for small animals before, during, and after surgery. This system uses a controller to regulate power to the warming pad based on the selected setting, while the included pad temperature probe measures pad temperature for display on the easy-to-read touchscreen.
Available in two pad sizes, each option includes the controller, warming pad, pad temperature probe, and 10 disposable sleeve protectors. This is a good fit for labs looking for a compact warming setup for recovery, anesthesia prep, and routine procedural support.
• Includes controller, warming pad, and pad temperature probe
• Touchscreen display shows pad temperature
• Available in two pad sizes
