AI Technical Summary
The existing device lacks a structure to fix the fur layer, which causes the fur layer of the rat brain to rebound without control, covering the skull. Manually pressing down the fur layer is inconvenient and affects the integrity of the rat brain separation.
A fixing device was designed, comprising an operation panel, a liquid tank, a U-shaped cavity, a bidirectional lead screw, a slide bar, a knob, a moving plate, a clamping plate, and a clamp. By rotating the knob, the clamping plate clamps the fur layer on both sides of the mouse brain. Combined with the use of PBS buffer, the fur layer is fixed and separated.
It improves the integrity of mouse brain separation, reduces the difficulty of manually fixing the fur layer, and makes the operation more convenient and efficient.
