Animal Behavior and Physiology

The Observer® XT for animal research

The Observer XT is the ideal tool for many researchers because it saves you time scoring behaviors and it allows you to synchronize and analyze multiple signals (video, audio, physiology, etc) all together.

Absorbent Swabs

These synthetic surgical sponges absorb fluids twice as fast as the best cotton sponges and have three times their fluid-holding capacity. They are made from strong, soft, lint-free, biocompatible-proven material which is non-irritating to tissue and leaves no fibrous residue which might cause wound contamination. Alloy / Material: Synthetic Length: 20 mm Mounted: No Net Weight: 10 g Sterile: Yes

Green Ear Punch

Designed to ensure a fast and clean punch, this ear punch is lightweight and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. FST Exclusive Item. Autoclavable.

Graefe Forceps

Graefe forceps are fine instruments which are available in 0.5 or 0.8 mm tip diameters.

Dumont #5 Medical Forceps

Alloy / Material: Surgical Stainless Steel (Inox) Length: 11 cm Net Weight: 12 g Style: #5 Tip Dimensions: 0.05 x 0.02 mm Tip Shape: Straight Tips: Biology

AutoClip® 9mm Clips (100)

The AutoClip System is a safe, secure alternative method of wound closure.

Dumont #55 Forceps

Beveled like the #5 but with lighter and finer shanks.

PV850 Pressure Microinjector

The WPI PV850 is a precision pressure microinjector for stereotaxic viral vector and drug delivery in vivo, intracellular cell injection, and zebrafish or embryo microinjection. It connects to any existing external pressure source and delivers picoliter-to-nanoliter volumes with independent touchscreen control of injection pressure, compensation pressure, and pulse timing — all with a hands-free foot switch trigger.

PUL-1000 Microelectrode Puller

The WPI PUL-1000 is a microprocessor-controlled, four-stage horizontal puller for fabricating precision glass micropipettes and microelectrodes for patch clamp, intracellular recording, microinjection, and microperfusion. With four independently programmable pulling stages, 95-program memory, and a tempered glass cover for humidity control, it delivers reproducible pipette geometries from under 0.1 µm to over 10 µm tip diameter — the dependable workhorse for any glass-pulling lab.

M10 Magnetic Stand

The M10 Magnetic Stand by WPI delivers 80 kgf of holding force on ferrous metal surfaces, providing a rock-solid base for laboratory micromanipulators, electrodes, and instruments. Its 12 mm sub pole fits the standard clamps of WPI M3301, DC3001, MD4, and MMJ manipulators, making it an ideal positioning stand for in vivo recording, stereotaxic, and surgical preparation setups.
