Vibratome 1000 Sectioning System Vibrating Microtome

The Vibratome system ensures that the viability of the tissue is maintained, with no embedding or freezing to change the characteristics of specimens before further examination. The system enables fresh or fixed human, animal or plant tissue to be cut evenly without distortion. As a general guide it should be possible to cut fresh brain tissue to 30-40 microns thickness using standard razor blade or disposable type microtome blades. Thinner sections can be achieved routinely by using a glass or sapphire knife on fresh or fixed tissue.

Classic Features:

• Ideal for sectioning fresh soft tissue
• Simple robust mechanical design
• Can use standard razor blades
• Preserves morphology and enzyme activity
