In the world of precision tissue sectioning, the Compresstome® is a powerful engine, but the quality of the final slice often depends on the “fuel” and the “handling”—the environment in which a sample is sliced and the specialized tools used to manipulate it. Whether the goal is to maintain the firing of a neuron or […]
Precision sectioning starts with a perfect foundation. But when you’re working with delicate specimens like organoids or small biopsies, keeping them upright and centered in agarose can feel like a losing battle. If you’ve struggled with samples tilting, drifting, or getting lost in excess agarose, our latest accessory is for you. Introducing the Compresstome® Small […]
We are thrilled to announce a major upgrade for our precision sectioning community: the Removable Buffer Tray system. Designed to streamline your research and simplify machine maintenance, this new accessory offers unparalleled flexibility for your Compresstome® VF-510-0Z workflow. Why Go Removable? Traditionally, fixed tube bases required more time-intensive cleaning and setup. Our new removable system […]
Simplify your tissue sectioning. Preserve integrity. Eliminate freezing artifacts. Traditional cryostats have long been the go-to tool for tissue sectioning, but they come with significant drawbacks—freezing damage, bulky design, and intensive maintenance. The Compresstome VF-510-0Z offers a modern alternative: a next-generation vibrating microtome that enables fast, reliable sectioning of live or fixed tissues—without the need […]
The Growing Role of Organoids in Research Organoids are transforming biomedical research. These three-dimensional, multicellular models mimic the architecture and function of real human tissues, making them invaluable for studying complex processes such as organ development, cancer progression, and regenerative therapies. Derived from stem cells or primary tissues, organoids maintain the spatial organization, cellular diversity, […]
Explore our detailed manual for mastering PCLS in respiratory research We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our comprehensive Precision-Cut Lung Slices Protocol Manual—a practical, researcher-friendly guide designed to help you get consistent, healthy lung tissue slices every time. Whether you’re just getting started with PCLS or are looking for ways to refine your technique, this […]
At Precisionary Instruments, because so many of our tissue slicer users handle fixed tissue, we often get asked about antigen retrieval. Today, we’d like to cover this as a short explanatory topic! What is antigen retrieval and why is it important? Have you ever worked with fixed tissue? If you process tissue slices for immunological […]
At Precisionary Instruments, we understand that preparing acute brain slices for electrophysiology is a highly technical and delicate process. Many researchers have reached out to us, looking for a clear and structured protocol that walks them through every step. In response, we have developed a detailed, step-by-step experimental guide, one of the first of its […]
Are you struggling to keep your specimen tube secure? Do you need a dependable solution for sample embedding? Wish you had a “third hand” to help? If you’ve ever faced the challenge of keeping your specimen tube steady while embedding tissue, we have the perfect solution. Introducing the SteadyHold Tube Stabilizer—Precisionary Instruments’ latest innovation designed […]
Starting the year with fresh research goals? If improving your tissue sectioning workflow is a priority, our 30-day demo program for the Compresstome VF-510-0Z is the perfect opportunity to explore a vibratome that sections tissue faster, preserves sample integrity, and simplifies your lab work. We understand that some institutions require a demo before purchasing, and […]
