Choosing the Right Tissue Slicer

Are you struggling to determine whether a vibratome, microtome, or cryostat is the best fit for your tissue sectioning needs? You’re not alone. Many scientists grapple with this decision when embarking on experimental projects involving tissue samples. To simplify this process, we’ve crafted a series of visual decision flowcharts to guide you through the selection process. Let’s embark on an adventure to uncover the ideal tissue slicer for your unique experimental applications.

Navigating the Tissue Slicer “Decision Flowchart”

Begin your journey on the left side of the flowchart. As you progress, follow the prompts and select the options that align most closely with your research objectives and sample characteristics. Each decision point leads you closer to the ultimate conclusion: the type of laboratory equipment best suited to yield optimal tissue sections for your specific needs.

Now, to make this even more interactive (and fun, we promise!), we create this online form that you can fill out to reveal the best tissue slicer based on your needs: “Reveal the Best Tissue Slicer For Your Needs”. Give it a try and enjoy!

Your Personalized Laboratory Vibratome, Microtome & Cryostat Solution

Upon reaching the end of the flowchart, you’ll unveil the ideal tissue slicer tailored to your experimental requirements. Whether it’s a vibratome, microtome, or cryostat, rest assured that your choice is informed by a thorough assessment of your research goals and sample properties.

Artificial Cerebrospinal Fluid (ACSF) is an essential buffer solution widely used in electrophysiology experiments, particularly to keep acute brain slices alive during research. This solution closely mimics the natural cerebrospinal fluid found in the brain and is designed to maintain neuronal viability and function during experiments like patch-clamp recordings. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of ACSF, its composition, and practical tips to optimize its use.
