Tissue Sectioning Solutions for Liver Studies

Create healthy, viable liver tissue slices for PCLS and thin, consistent sections for immunological studies using Precisionary Instruments’ vibratome, rotary microtome, and cryostat.

High-Quality Liver Tissue Slices for PCLS and Immunological Analysis

Liver tissue sectioning plays a vital role in both precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) for studying organ function and disease models, as well as in preparing thin sections for immunological analysis.

Precisionary Instruments’ Compresstome VF-510-0Z vibratome enables researchers to create healthy, viable PCLS from mouse and human liver tissues, preserving cellular integrity for accurate physiological studies.

For further processing, the RF-1000 rotary microtome and CF-6100 cryostat offer precise, thin sections ideal for immunohistochemistry, staining, and imaging. These tools provide consistent and reliable results, helping advance liver research in both preclinical and clinical applications.

Compresstome® VF-510-0Z

Precision Vibrating Microtome for Precision-Cut Liver Slices (PCLS)

The Compresstome® VF-510-0Z vibratome is specifically designed to produce healthy, viable liver tissue slices from mouse or human liver. It is ideal for creating precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) for studies in toxicology, liver disease, and organ function. This fully automated system ensures thin, consistent slices while preserving the physiological integrity of liver tissues for accurate research results.

Experimental applications include:

With a 5-year warranty, the VF-510-0Z guarantees precision and reliability for liver tissue sectioning in both preclinical and clinical research.
