Multi-Arm Mouse Stereotaxic Instrument

Overview

The Multi-Arm Mouse Stereotaxic Instrument is a mouse stereotaxic system for procedures that move through positioning, skull drilling, and injection steps in sequence. Instead of repeatedly removing and reinstalling tools, the source design stages three clamping arms on the same Z-manipulator so a positioning needle, skull drill, and injection pump or holder can be kept ready and rotated into working position.

The practical buying value is workflow continuity. Labs running coordinate-guided mouse neuroscience work often need to confirm a target, open the skull, and deliver a reagent, probe, cannula, fiber, or electrode path without rebuilding the tool stack between steps. The multi-arm layout gives the operator a cleaner station plan for staged tools while keeping the X/Y travel on the base plate for stable coordinate movement.

Two configurations are available from one page: manual 0.1 mm readout or digital 0.01 mm readout. The source specification identifies 85 mm travel on the Z-manipulator and 45 mm travel on each X/Y manipulator axis, giving purchasing a clear way to compare this system against standard single-arm mouse frames, open-base rodent frames, and higher-ticket automated stereotaxic systems.

Scientific Use

Multi-step stereotaxic workflows are common in mouse neuroscience when drilling and delivery hardware must be coordinated around a skull-referenced target. The page is useful for labs planning injections, viral-vector delivery, cannula or guide placement, electrode or probe placement, cranial access, and workflows that benefit from having a drill and injection path staged at the same station.

Choose this listing when the purchasing decision is about reducing tool changes during a mouse stereotaxic workflow. Pair the selected configuration with stereotaxic-compatible anesthesia, nose cone masks, microdrill and syringe holders, warming, monitoring, atlas planning, and any lab-specific rat customization review when the same workflow needs to be adapted beyond mouse work.

Buying Fit

This is the better fit when a standard mouse stereotaxic frame can position accurately but slows the procedure because drilling and injection hardware must be swapped repeatedly. The manual configuration fits labs that want a lower-cost multi-arm workflow, while the digital configuration fits teams that want finer coordinate readout during staged tool use.
