Designed exclusively for integration with ALZET Osmotic Pumps, this kit enables continuous infusion into the cerebral ventricles or direct microperfusion of discrete brain structures, effectively bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Kit 3 features a 30-gauge stainless steel cannula with a maximum unadjusted penetration depth of 3 mm, making it the standard choice for targeting the lateral ventricles in adult mice. The inclusion of precision-molded polycarbonate spacers allows researchers to adjust the insertion depth from 1 mm to 3 mm in 0.5 mm increments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCustomizable Penetration Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e The kit includes 40 polycarbonate spacers (0.5 mm thickness each) that slide directly over the cannula tube, allowing researchers to precisely dictate the depth of the cannula tip within the brain tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow-Profile Wide Base:\u003c\/b\u003e The cannula features a wide polycarbonate base pedestal that provides excellent stability against the skull.
