Rat brain slicer. A simple device for rapidly obtaining serial slabs of fresh brain.
A simple, two-part device is described which has been used to provide rapid serial sectioning of fresh rat brain in experiments in which identifiable brain regions were microdissected for biochemical analysis. This device is easily constructed at low cost, and offers several advantages over other devices and techniques.
