Compresstome® VF-300 Vibrating Microtome
The VF-300 is the non-Auto Zero-Z® workhorse of the Compresstome® family. The Compresstome® VF-300 is a vibrating microtome for cutting tissue slices, similar to cryostats and vibratomes. The VF-300 can section both fixed and live tissues, is fully automated with an ability cut tissue thicknesses ranging from 4µm to 2000µm, at 1µm precision. Comes with full one (1)year limited warranty.
The VF-300 is compatible with specimen tube sizes of the following diameters:
- 6.5mm
- 12.5mm
- 15.5mm
With our compression technology, this fully automated slicer excels at sectioning slices used for:
Our slicer technology allows you to double your slice viability. The Compresstome® is also easy to use. Our online training videos will allow everyone in your lab to produce excellent slices.

Experimental applications of the Compresstome VF-300 include cutting tissue slices for:
- Electrophysiology: For acute brain slices, cardiac or myocardiac recordings, and kidney slices
- Immunohistochemistry: For fixed tissue as thin as 4µm
- Organotypic cultures: For cultured slice experiments
- Precision-cut live slices: Lung, liver, kidney, spleen slices
- Imaging: Fluorescent imaging of slices
- In-situ hybridization: RNA detection
- Electron microscopy: Studies of micro-architecture and cellular anatomy
