PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose:

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is establishing a new laboratory that will use cutting-edge physiological, imaging, and behavioral techniques to investigate the relationship between neurological disorders and brain function at the molecular, synaptic, cellular, and circuit levels. The new laboratory requires equipment for cranial stereotaxic surgeries on mice, including a dual arm stereotaxic apparatus (with digital readout of stereotaxic coordinates) and a rodent warming system.

2. Background Information and Objective:

The NINDS will soon establish the Laboratory of Circuits, Synapses, and Molecular Signaling (LCSMS), which will be led by the new Scientific Director. Several major lines of research require survival surgeries on mice. This includes microinjection of viral vectors into various brain regions, and the implantation of guide cannulae and optical fibers for the manipulation of neural circuits. For these purposes, the LCSMS requires a stereotaxic apparatus for mice (along with digital readout to improve accuracy of stereotaxic surgeries), along with a rodent warming system (to maintain constant body temperature throughout surgical procedures).

3. Generic Name of Product:

Mouse stereotaxic surgical equipment

4. Salient characteristics

The NINDS LCSMS requires surgical equipment for mice. The vendor shall provide equipment brand name or equal to Kopf Model 942 Dual small animal stereotaxic apparatus with digital display readout. The equipment should include (A) a stereotaxic apparatus with digital readout, (B) a rodent warming system, (C) adaptive nose/tooth bar mice of various sizes/ages, and (D) Stereotaxic accessories including high-speed drill & equipment holders. Items should be equal to the model numbers listed below.

(A) Stereotaxic apparatus

• A stereotaxic apparatus suitable for cranial surgeries on mice with body weights of between 10-75 grams (g). The apparatus must include at least one manipulator arm (Model 960 with Model 942-B linear scale).

• A stereotaxic apparatus with a digital readout is required for improved accuracy of stereotaxic surgeries (Model 942 dual small animal stereotaxic instrument with digital display with Model 900C base plate)

• The apparatus should have a footprint smaller than 30 cm x 30 cm.

• Ear bars (Model 922) and tooth bars that allow the height adjustment to accommodate mice as small as 10 g and as large as 75 g (Equivalent to Model 923- B and Model 933-B mouse gas anesthesia head holders).

(B) Heating system

• Heating system (e.g., a warming pad with temperature control; Model TCAT-2LV

Temperature Controller, Model HP-4M Heating Plate) compatible with the stereotaxic apparatus to maintain the mouse’s body temperature while it is under gas anesthesia (Model RET-3-ISO mouse rectal probe)

(C) Adaptive nose/tooth bar for mice

• An anesthesia mask or adaptor to allow for the use of gas anesthesia on a mouse (Model 923-B and Model 922-B).

(D) Stereotaxic accessories

• A high-speed drill with all necessary components including console, hand-piece, hand-piece holder, foot pedal) and corresponding drill bits at 0.020” and 0.013” (Model 8176 #76 & Model 8181 #81 drill bits)

• Universal syringe holder that will accommodate a variety of microsyringes (Model 1772)

• Electrode holder clamp (Model 1770)

5. Quantity: 2 sets of equipment

6. Delivery Date:
