Microdialysis for Basic ResearchProbesAccessories19TUBING ADAPTORSThese simple but secure connectors, which swell in 70% alcohol and shrink back in air, ensure tight,zero internal volume connections of FEP Tubing to the probe, swivel, liquid switch and syringes.FIG. 3Tubing AdaptorsFIG. 4Trephine Drill BitsScrew Drill BitsANCHOR SCREWS, TREPHINE DRILL BITS, SCREW DRILL BITS AND SCREW DRIVER SETThe use of a trephine drill in the skull bone gives a precise 2 mm hole that makes the implantation of a probe easier with less risk of tearing the membrane.Anchor screws are placed in the skull plates before cementing the guide cannula to provide extra stability to the mount. Suitable Screw Drill Bitsand Screw Driver Kit for the Anchor Screws are available.FIG. 5FIG. 6Anchor ScrewsScrew Driver KitPerfusion FluidFIG. 7FIG. 8Split TubingPERFUSION FLUIDThis isotonic sterile perfusion fluid is speciallydeveloped for microdialysis use.T1 fluid is for use in peripheral tissues andCNS fluid is used in studies of the CentralNervous System.SPLIT TUBINGExtra split tubing for CMA 20 probes, to be usedwhen re-using the probes
