MD-2212: MBR-2-5
MD-2232: MBR-2-10
MD-2234: MBR-4-10

Cannula

Coated fused silica

Probe Volume

MBR1-5: 7.9 µL (due to user protective elongated I/O tubing –See “Use”)
MBR 2-5: 8.0 µL (due to user protective elongated I/O tubing –See “Use”)
MBR 2-10: 3.5 µL
MBR 4-10: 3.6 µL

Use

MBR 5 microdialysis probes are small and lightweight to accommodate a fragile mouse skull.  Can reach anywhere in a mouse brain, or can be used for dorsal rat brain sampling. Use with MBR-5 Guide Cannulae.

MBR 10 microdialysis probes are suitable for ventral implants in rats or for multiple implant sites. Use with MBR-10 Guide Cannulae.

MBR microdialysis probes can be implanted as close as 2.5 mm on center without a guide or 3.2 mm on center with a guide. The probes have elongated inlet/outlet tubing to keep fingers further away from fast, sharp mouse teeth when connecting tubing.
