Tissue Sectioning Solutions for Genetic Sequencing

Create healthy, viable tissue slices for genetic sequencing with Precisionary Instruments’ vibratomes.

Get High-Quality, Viable Tissue Slices for Genetic Sequencing

Genetic sequencing studies, such as transcriptomics and single-cell DNA or RNA extraction, require live tissue slices that maintain cellular health and viability to ensure accurate physiological results. Consistently thin, undamaged slices are critical for preserving gene expression and cellular function during sequencing. Precisionary Instruments’ vibratomes are designed to produce precise, viable tissue sections that preserve the physiological integrity of samples, ensuring the most reliable genetic data for downstream analysis.
