World Precision Instrument Cutting Forceps, 11 cm, Black Epoxy Coated with EZ Lever, Strong Blades, 6.5 mm Tip to Bend
Cutting tweezers with a black epoxy coating are a specialized surgical instrument designed for precision cutting in medical procedures. The black epoxy coating enhances the forceps' durability by providing corrosion resistance. It also reduces the glare under surgical lights or a microscope. The thumb lever in the handle serves as a unique and ergonomic mechanism, allowing you to easily squeeze the sharp blades together for controlled cutting. This feature not only ensures precise cutting but also offers a firm and comfortable grip during procedures. The forceps' versatility makes them suitable for various medical specialties, contributing to tasks such as suturing and tissue trimming. The ergonomic design, combined with the safety features like the thumb lever, enhances user comfort and instrument control. These tweezers may be sterilized using an autoclave or a chemical sterilant.
World Precision Instrument Steri-Lite Bead Sterilizer-ST5193
WPI's Steri-Lite Glass Bead Sterilizer is ideal for the sterilization of small research instruments (forceps, scissors, etc.). When the chamber is filled with the included glass beads, high temperatures (up to 300°C) can be used to eliminate the presence of bacteria, spores and other microorganisms.
World Precision Instrument Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer, Rigid & 15 Supertips, 90g
Assessing mechanical allodynia with 15 SuperTips
To assess mechanical allodynia, which is a painful response to a light touch or pressure from a stimulus that is not normally painful, the Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer was developed. The Electronic von Frey meter uses one of 15 different flexible von Frey hairs called “SuperTips™” (or rigid tips up to 800 grams). Each hair, regardless of model chosen, is exactly 0.8mm in diameter. This uniformity of design eliminates false readings and allows for comparison of test results. The Electronic von Frey can be used with chart recorders and analog/digital converters, and it never needs calibrated. This system includes either a 90, 800 or 1,000 gram probe. Mesh stands are available in a variety of sizes for large group studies.
World Precision Instrument SGE Syringes with Replaceable Beveled Needles-SGE001RN
A 20° bevel tip is the standard general purpose needle tip style supplied with SGE syringes. The style is designed for optimum septum penetration and prevention of septum coring.

World Precision Instrument Stainless Steel Brain Matrix, Adult mouse, Cor. Slices, 40-75g
Using a WPI brain matrix, you can get thin and uniform brain slices, which is crucial for histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, and more. This consistency is essential for accurate comparisons between different brains and experimental conditions. These WPI rodent brain matrices are made of stainless steel, a durable material. They have precision-cut channels or slots that hold the brain in place during slicing. Choose your brain matrix based on your species (mouse or rat) and the size of the animal. The WPI brain matrices are designed for sagittal or coronal slices. These brain matrices give you consistent slices that are 1 mm thick, and the olfactory spinal notch is cut into every brain matrix. Matrices may be chilled and sterilized. These are useful when heat transfer or maintaining a specific temperature range is required. Get standardized and precise brain sectioning.
World Precision Instrument Euthanex Lids-EZ-20034
The Euthanex Lid system has become an industry standard. Simply by removing the water bottle from the wire bar cage cover and placing the Euthanex Lid over the host cage, you are ready to perform euthanasia. You no longer need to transfer animals. The lids are available in five sizes to accommodate virtually all plastic cage sizes designed for small lab animals. These heavy duty stainless steel lids have a stem fitting for connection to the quick-disconnect fitting on the regulator hose from the regulator. A foam lid gasket ensures a good seal on the cage. Multiple lids may be used to treat several cages at once.
World Precision Instrument WPI Precision Trinocular Surgical Microscope
WPI’s improved precision SurgioScope (now with five magnification steps) is a portable, high quality surgical microscope offering outstanding image quality and value. Incorporating an agile extension arm and excellent working distance objectives, the SurgioScope provides convenient movement and maneuverability necessary for accurate positioning. These important features, together with a high quality optical system, provide sharp image contrast and enhanced large field of vision. The SurgioScope comes fully equipped with a foot-controlled motorized focusing system, normally only found in more expensive surgical microscopes. A unique dual lamp housing enables safe and rapid changing of the lamp during an operation, without the need to power down.
World Precision Instrument Isolated Differential Amplifier with active probe
The ISO-80 provides low noise AC coupled amplification and offers excellent recording performance for monitoring extracellular nerve action potentials in vitro and in living animals. The ISO-80 is provided with a remote headstage (1 m cable) which incorporates an electrode impedance test function and a constant current stimulator. The constant current stimulator can be used for cell marking, stimulation or electrode cleaning. Typical applications include measuring EMG, EEG, extracellular and action potentials in vitro or in vivo. The ISO-80 system is DC isolated from the subject ground and employs state of the art electro-magnetic shielding for improved noise rejection. The amplifier employs both high pass and low pass filtering with gain from 100 to 10,000. The lowest low-pass setting is 5 Hz and the upper passband is 10 kHz.
