“The main advantages of this machine are the rapid speed of slicing and the manual stabilization afforded by the agarose embedding. I am able to prepare uniform slices in both the coronal and horizontal planes, and I routinely complete transcardial perfusion, brain removal, and slicing all within less than 10 minutes, which is half the time needed with the Leica vibratome.”

Working with the Precisionary team has been phenomenal. Their customer service is unmatched. They respond quickly, work quickly, and are constantly looking for ways to improve user experiences. I have had great success using their Compresstome VF-800-OZ for tissue slicing. This model has allowed me to increase throughput, consistency and efficiency simultaneously, while yielding amazing results. The device is user friendly, compact for any lab space, and produces quality tissue slices with ease. The amazing customer service together with the functionality of the device make Precisionary stand out amongst the other companies in industry.

The compresstome has enabled us to cut live precision slices of tissues that we were unable to cut using a conventional vibratome, and so has made a huge difference to many projects! The customer service provided by Precisionary is excellent – always helpful, always friendly, always prompt. I can highly recommend this company and its products.
