MediLumine launches new universal mouse restrainer for partial body irradiation is designed to allow irradiation of right, left, or dual flank tumors. The restrainer’s rectangular design facilitates the loading of mice with flank tumors head first instead of pulling the mouse in the restrainer with it’s tail.
