Multiple Embedding of Spinal Cords

Leveraging the same revolutionary set of technologies as MultiBrain®, MultiCord® enables multiple segments and planes of a single spinal cord to be processed together and presented on a single slide. In addition to multiple segments, multiple spinal cords are also able to be processed within the same MultiCord® block.

 

Up to 8 entire rat spinal cords may be embedded to yield segments sectioned in the transverse and longitudinal planes as specified by the researcher.
