The basic model, automatic vibrating slicer, to produce healthy slices for electrophysiology and immunohistochemistry
Description
The VF-300 is is designed as a basic model by our engineers. This tissue slicer has a movable motor box for rapid loading of samples for cutting, along with a separate control box. Please note that this vibratome model does not include the patented Auto Zero-Z technology.
Features
- Produces healthy acute slices 5x faster than other market vibrating microtomes
- Uses agarose embedding process
- Fully automated slicing
- Slice thickness control to 1µm precision
- Ability for single or continuous cutting modes
- Manual adjustment of blade holder
- Sliding control box allows for fast loading of samples for cutting
- Light footprint for easy portability
Applications
The Compresstome® VF-300 vibrating microtome is recommended for:
- Electrophysiology
- Immunohistochemistry
- Organotypic cultures
- Precision-cut live slices
