Tissue Sectioning Solutions for Human Tissue Slicing

Create healthy, viable human tissue slices for clinical, preclinical, and biopsy analysis using Precisionary Instruments’ advanced sectioning tools.

Get High-Quality Human Tissue Slices

Human tissue sectioning is essential for clinical trials, medical research, and biopsy analysis, where precise tissue slices provide critical insights into disease mechanisms, treatment efficacy, and patient outcomes. Sectioning human tissues, particularly large samples like liver lobes, lung lobes, or entire human brains, is a vital part of studying complex diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions.

Precisionary Instruments’ Compresstome VF-800-0Z offers unparalleled capability to accommodate large organ samples, making it an indispensable tool for transplant research and neuroanatomical studies. This unique capacity to section entire organs or large human tissue samples is not found elsewhere, ensuring researchers can achieve high-quality, consistent sections for advanced analysis in both clinical and research settings.

Human tissue slices produced using the Compresstome enable accurate histological analysis and facilitate critical research in drug screening, therapeutic development, and personalized medicine.

Compresstome® VF-800-0Z

Precision Vibrating Microtome for Large Human Tissue Samples

The Compresstome® VF-800-0Z is specifically designed for sectioning large human tissue samples, including entire or partial organs such as liver lobes, lung lobes, and even entire human brains. This makes it ideal for transplant research and neuroanatomical studies. The VF-800-0Z enables researchers to section fresh or fixed tissues without freezing, preserving tissue integrity for precise pathology and clinical studies.

Real Labs Trust Precisionary Vibratome for Human Tissue Slicing

Preparation of Acute Brain Slices Using an Optimized N-Methyl-D-glucamine Protective Recovery Method

Often heralded as leaders in the field, the Allen Brain institute performs pioneering research on all manner of brain tissue. Working with brain tissue can often be as frustrating as it is rewarding. Slicing brain tissue presents many challenges. The tissue is a combination of soft and fibrous regions. For over a decade, researchers at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have been using the Compresstome® vibrating microtome to help give them better brain slices with increased longevity and reduced damage to surface neurons. This enables neuroscientists to have healthy neurons for patch-clamp electrophysiology experiments.
