How to Order

Zivic Instruments is your international source for rodent dissection and histology equipment.

Zivic pioneered the commercial development of rodent brain matrices in the 1970's. In the years following the introduction of the first models, Zivic Instruments upgraded and expanded its offering to include more than 80 products - comprising the broadest array of rodent brain, heart, and tissue matrices commercially available. The Zivic Rat Brain Matrix and Mouse Brain Matrix have now been the international research standard for more than 25 years!

All matrices and punches are precisely machined and designed to withstand repeated use. Please browse our product offering and feel free to contact us with any questions or to place an order.

Zivic Rodent Tissue Matrices aid in the dissection of discrete regions of a rodent brain, heart, tumor, or comparably sized organ.  They allow the investigator to slice repeatable coronal or sagittal sections of the sample, enabling precise blocking prior to microtome sectioning and the removal of small, reproducible brain regions (i.e. discrete terminal fields or nuclei) for biochemical analysis, such as the determination of neurotransmitter and metabolite concentrations. Individual brain areas may be either dissected or micropunched from the slices formed.

All matrices designed for long-term use and matrices of any given type are identical to insure reproducible sections.  Channels are cut at precise intervals ranging from 0.50mm to 3.00mm and are .3mm wide.  Other species, sizes, and materials available upon request.
