Product Description

Key Features

The advantages of our primate recording chambers are:

• High quality and low price compared to competitor´s products

• Short delivery times for customized designs

Thomas RECORDING primate recording chambers are available in different materials. The pros and cons of the different materials are listed below:

• Stainless Steel chambers are excellent when strength and durability are essential. However, because Stainless Steel recording chambers are heavier than those made from products like titanium and plastic, you may feel that use with Stainless Steel chambers on small subjects is limited. Furthermore, Stainless Steel cannot be used for research investigations that include MRI testing

• Titanium Chambers have been found to be very tissue compatible. Titanium is a strong, hard, and lightweight material. Although, Titanium may be used in the MRI, it does cause a shadow, which may reduce the ability to visualize areas located close to the Titanium Chamber. Titanium Chambers are also available in a footed version. This feature allows for a more secure implant site. Only a small amount of bone cement or dental acrylic is needed to seal the chamber to the skull.

• PEEK Chambers, were designed in an effort to find a material that possessed strength, durability, and tissue compatibility that could be used in MRI testing and could effectively be sterilized. This lightweight plastic suitably meets these all these requirements. Our PEEK recording chambers work well with animal subjects of most sizes. PEEK does not absorb water or other fluids readily, and therefore it does not tend to miss-shape, as many plastics do. Beside standard PEEK we offer also Carbon PEEK chambers on request, which are more stable.
