COMPRESSTOME® VF-800-0Z

Large Diameter Vibrating Microtome

Our Compresstome® VF-800-0Z tissue slicer is a fully-automated large diameter vibrating microtome capable of embedding large organs or multiple samples simultaneously for preclinical uses. Experimental applications include:

High-throughput tissue sectioning
Slice cultures for drug screening
Large diameter samples (i.e., primate brain)

Key Features of the VF-800-0Z Vibratome

User-friendly controls: Fully integrated control box has intuitive control parameters for controlling tissue sectioning

Compact Design: Small design for a vibratome that can section large tissues

Ultra precision: custom made blades for ultra precision of large tissues

Large cutting area: Can section samples up to 100 mm, or multiple samples

Durable: Equipped with a powerful, cordless motor for quiet and durable operation

What Sets the VF-800-0Z Apart

Healthy tissue sections from large organs

The VF-800-0Z excels at slicing large, delicate specimens, such as whole brains from monkeys or human organs like the heart and liver, making it ideal for your large organ research.

Make hundreds of tissue sections fast

Designed to section many tissues at once, this vibratome enables precise sectioning for drug screening studies, including liver and kidney slices critical for metabolism and toxicity testing.

Full Automation for Consistent and Reliable Performance

The VF-800-0Z ensures reproducible tissue sections across a wide range of applications, delivering consistent results for long-term studies and diverse experimental needs.

“Very satisfied with the customer support before and after purchase. The Compresstome was shipped within just a couple weeks and customer support responded within 24 h whenever we had issues or questions. In addition, the training videos and zoom calls were extremely beneficial to get started.”

Dr. Ben Richardson

Southern Illinois University

Our lab made the switch from standard vibratome-prepared ex vivo brain slices to compresstome-prepared slices a few years ago. Combining the compresstome with modified slicing solutions has allowed us to generate electrophysiological data that would have otherwise likely not been possible from the cerebellum to difficult brain areas to slice, like the locus coeruleus and thalamic reticular nucleus. Not only is the product exceptional, but the Precisionary is also so supportive and invested in helping us achieve our experimental goals.

FAQs

What is the maximum specimen diameter that the VF-800-0Z can accommodate?

The VF-800-0Z can accommodate specimens up to 100 mm in diameter, making it suitable for sectioning large organs or multiple samples simultaneously for high throughput.

What is the thinnest slice thickness achievable with the VF-800-0Z?

The VF-800-0Z is capable of producing tissue slices as thin as 40 microns, allowing for detailed histological analysis.

What are the key applications of the VF-800-0Z?

The VF-800-0Z is ideal for high-throughput tissue sectioning, slice cultures for drug screening,sectioning large diameter samples such as primate brains, and more.

Is the VF-800-0Z fully automated?

Yes, the VF-800-0Z is a fully automated vibrating microtome, allowing for precise and consistent sectioning with user-friendly controls. The control box is built into the machine, making it easier to place in a compact space without the need for an external control box.
