The platform provides a means of easy movement of an anesthetized rat to and from a stereotaxic apparatus or other device. The animal’s teeth are placed over the incisor bar and the mask slid forward until the cone is snug about the animal’s nose, so no nose clamp is needed. The platform is then lifted onto an appropriate stereotaxic device, providing positioning of the animal that is perfect, automatic and effortless!
