EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATIONS

Explore the diverse fields and experiments where our microtomes can help you

Electrophysiology

Produce healthier slices for patch-clamp, field recordings, and calcium imaging for brain, heart, and kidney tissue slices.

Histopathology

Our rotary microtomes help you create perfectly coinsistent and thin sections that are free of chattermarks.

Immunohistochemistry

Use our Compresstome^® tissue slicer and rotary microtomes to create smooth, thin & consistent sections for protein staining.

Precision-Cut Tissue Slices

Get higher quality live tissue slices for studies of lung, liver, kidney, gut, spleen, and reproductive tissues. Excellent for enzyme or toxicology research.

Organotypic Tissue Slice Culture

Use the Compresstome^® vibratome for organotypic brain slice cultures and tumor slice cultures.

Polymer Research

Both Compresstomes^® and rotary microtomes can cut certain polymers, resins, and cellular matrices for biomedical and mechanical engineering research.

Electron Microscopy

Our microtomes help cut ultrathin sections used for EM imaging.

Plant Research

Our microtomes are able to cut consistent slices of plant leaves, stems, seeds, and roots.

…And More!

Explore how to make tissue slices for in-situ hybridization and sectioning of large organs like non-human primate brains.
