BrainBits provides fresh, never frozen, micro-surgically dissected, live brain tissues from rats and mice to pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and research institutions around the world.BrainBits expedites discovery by managing the tissue procurement process. Instead of managing animals, harvesting embryos and dissecting tissues, BrainBits allows researchers to discover faster by providing the exact piece of tissue that researchers want to study. BrainBits is focused on enhancing research by shortening the time to discovery, increasing the quality and consistency of the tissue procurement process, and transforming the way that animals are utilized to procure tissues from rats and mice. We allow scientists to do the same amount of research with significantly less animals.Every week, we send orders as small as one piece of CNS tissue from a rat or mice, up to large orders that contain 75+ pieces of tissue from the cortex, hippocampus, midbrain, Dorsal Root Ganglion, and other CNS regions to some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. We ship tissue overnight, globally from labs in the US and the UK.Please visit our website (www.brainbitsllc.com / www.brainbits.co.uk) to see the tissues, media, and other products that we supply to enhance scientific discovery.
