Model 980 Rat Spinal Unit is ideal for intracellular procedures. It is easily the most flexible rat spinal unit available to researchers today.
The base of the unit is a Model 912-01 Mounting Plate that is precision machined and has two full length tee slots for rapid mounting and removal of components. The plate is 12″ wide, 24″ long, 1″ thick and weighs 27 pounds. The top is left natural to assure precise location of components.
Attached to the plate by way of the tee slots are five base mounts with vertical posts and clamps and one upright assembly and clamps. The mounts are secured to the base plate by thumb screws and tee nuts for fast, rigid clamping. No wrenches are needed. The posts have 3/8″ shafts with lock keys and 2-1/4″ of vertical adjustment. A vertebrae clamp, a pair of hip spikes, a pair of retractors and a pair of V-notchedspikes are supplied with the unit. The design of the 980 assure ample lateral, A-P and vertical travel of all components.
