Tissue Sectioning Solutions for Heart/Cardiac Studies

Create healthy, viable cardiac tissue slices for electrophysiology and thin, consistent sections for heart histology using Precisionary Instruments’ vibratome, rotary microtome, and cryostat.

High-Quality Cardiac Tissue Slices for Electrophysiology and Histological Analysis

Cardiac tissue sectioning is essential for both live tissue studies in electrophysiology and detailed histological analysis of heart pathology and anatomy.

Precisionary Instruments’ Compresstome VF-510-0Z vibratome produces healthy, viable cardiac tissue slices for electrophysiology experiments, allowing researchers to record from pacemaker cells, myocytes, and other cardiac cells.

For further histological processing, the RF-1000 rotary microtome and CF-6100 cryostat offer thin, consistent tissue sections ideal for H&E staining and other histology studies of cardiac structure and pathology. These tools provide researchers with reliable and precise tissue slices for a variety of cardiac research applications.

Compresstome® VF-510-0Z

Precision Vibrating Microtome for Live Cardiac Tissue Slices

The Compresstome® VF-510-0Z is designed to produce live, viable cardiac tissue slices for electrophysiology experiments. These thin, healthy slices allow researchers to study heart cells, such as pacemaker cells and myocytes, in a controlled environment, making it ideal for studies on cardiac function, arrhythmias, and electrophysiology.
Experimental applications include:

With a 5-year warranty, the VF-510-0Z delivers precise and reliable sectioning for live cardiac tissue in electrophysiology research.

Compresstome® for sectioning live myocardial slices for cardiac research

The Smyth Laboratory, led by James Smyth, Ph.D., studies cardiomyopathy at a subcellular level, searching for potential targets for therapeutic interventions to help restore normal cardiac function to diseased hearts. Here, Dr. Smyth shows how to section live myocardial slices with the Compresstome®, and uses them for tissue culture and calcium imaging.
