Maintenance 

The SliceMate should be regularly maintained to ensure reliable operation; the 
frequency of maintenance is dependant on the type of compounds used. It is 
recommended that all replaceable components listed below be simultaneously 
exchanged on a regular basis with exception of the brain bath module. 

 

AgCI Electrode Assembly 

 

Heat Exchanger Tube 

 

Pinch Valve Tube 

 

Feed through barbed connectors 

 

Brain bath mesh 

Replacing the Brain Bath Mesh 

Firstly, carefully ease the mesh ring from the brain using a scalpel and remove the 
ring and the mesh. Cut an oversize piece of mesh and lay it over the bath area as 
shown.  

 

 

Now press the ring back into the bath; this action stretches the mesh to create a 
stable interface for the slice to sit upon.
