Compresstome vibrating microtomes > VF-300

Compresstome® VF-300

  • Patented compression technology eliminates chattermarks and maintain many viable cells on acute tissues, ensuring good experiment results.
  • Sections 5X faster than traditional Vibratomes, reducing blade on tissue time, giving better sections.
  • Light footprint for increased portability
  • Fully automated:  Sectioning + thickness adjustment 
  • Standard 1 year warranty

WHAT SETS PRECISIONARY MICROTOMES APART

Agarose embedding is the process of  embedding your tissue sample with agarose solution before you cut tissue slices with the Compresstome© vibratome. It takes only a fraction of the user’s time for sectioning overall and aids in the production of healthier and smoother tissue slides.

These vibrating heads are precisely aligned to eliminate vibrations in the Z-axis. Auto Zero-Z® technology helps reduce damage to surface cells on live tissue samples, and further reduce chattermarks on thin sections for improved imaging results
