These guide cannula fit BASi's most popular "BR" style brain microdialysis probes. If you are working with mice, see the MBR style guides.
There are two versions of this guide. They differ in how they secure the probe or stylet in the guide:
MD-2250 | O-ring Intracerebral Cuide Cannula and Stylet |
MD-2251 | Omega-ring, Intracerebral Guide Cannula and Stylet |
Cannula: | Inert, biocompatible plastic |
Length: |
10 mm. This length permits you to reach even the deepest rat brain target. The length is optimized so when a "BR" style microdialysis probe is inserted, only the probe membrane protrudes from the guide. Custom length guides available. |
Stylet: | Stainless Steel |
Lock Mechanism | MD-2250 - Rubber ring, snap lock MD-2251 - Steel collar, manual lock |
Head Diameter: | 6.4mm |
Shaft Outer Diameter: | 775µm |
If you want to implant multiple guide cannulae closer than this guide's 6.4 mm OD permits, see the BASi® MBR style probes and guides.
