Perfect for keeping slices viable for longer.
Description
The 5100-Plus is perfect for those who need to keep slices viable for longer e.g. for electrophysiological field recordings. The user can calibrate the Z-axis deflection of the blade to 2 µm with the adjustable blade holder and “Opti-cal” Calibration device. Minimal Z-axis deflection reduces the “chatter” and minimizes damage to the slice surface, leading to greater viability of the cells on the slice surface.
Features
- Includes the Z-axis calibration unit (5100mz-Plus only)
- Vibration frequency from 50 to 80 Hz
- Adjustable amplitude from 0.5mm to 1.5mm
- Fine control of the blade advance (min. 0.1 mm/sec)
- Set start and finish position of blade travel
- Remote controls allowing for sterile use in culture hood
- Ice water bath easily removed for cleaning
- Optional cold light and magnifier for clear observation
- Optional Peltier cooled bath
