Mice veterinary stereotactic frame YAN series

for rats

Product overview
The rat and mouse head fixation device, also called a brain holder, is part of a stereotaxic apparatus and is intended for procedures that require head or cranial immobilization without full stereotaxic positioning.

Key features

• No obstructive articulating arms, providing a larger surgical workspace and more flexible handling.
• Base model does not include a 3D manipulation arm; 3D stereotaxic capability can be added later by fitting an optional 3D arm.
• Modular design enables adding mouse positioning to a rat frame via an adapter, allowing shared use for both rats and mice.

Models and configuration

• Rat brain fixator model: YAN-050.
• Mouse head fixation adapter: modular design, adds mouse capability to a rat frame for mouse head fixation and 3D positioning.
• Other example models/accessories shown: YAN-5030, YAN-5029 (for different adapter or accessory combinations).
• Universal use: switching between rat and mouse is achieved by replacing ear bars and head clamps. Example models: rat YAN-051; mouse YAN-052; rat+mouse combo YAN-053.

Usage instructions

• Intended as part of a stereotaxic apparatus for procedures requiring only head or cranial immobilization.
• For full 3D brain positioning, equip an optional 3D manipulation arm to upgrade functionality.
