Upcoming Webinar | March 24 | A Preclinical Roadmap for Advancing Lung Fibrosis Research
At Precisionary Instruments, our engineering philosophy is built on a single premise: stability equals quality. This is why the Compresstome® is designed specifically to utilize agarose embedding for every tissue specimen. While traditional vibratomes often rely on a single point of adhesion to a flat stage, the Compresstome® is engineered to work with an agarose […]
In the world of precision tissue sectioning, the Compresstome® is a powerful engine, but the quality of the final slice often depends on the “fuel” and the “handling”—the environment in which a sample is sliced and the specialized tools used to manipulate it. Whether the goal is to maintain the firing of a neuron or […]
Members of the Bienkowski Lab at the USC Center for Integrative Connectomics, which combines spatial transcriptomics, circuit mapping, and imaging to understand how distinct brain cell types are affected in disease. Meet the Bienkowski Lab at the USC Center for Integrative Connectomics Dr. Michael S. Bienkowski is an Assistant Professor of Physiology and Neuroscience and […]
We are thrilled to announce a major upgrade for our precision sectioning community: the Removable Buffer Tray system. Designed to streamline your research and simplify machine maintenance, this new accessory offers unparalleled flexibility for your Compresstome® VF-510-0Z workflow. Why Go Removable? Traditionally, fixed tube bases required more time-intensive cleaning and setup. Our new removable system […]
Introducing the Levinger Lab and PhD Candidate Heidi Kreckel At Colorado State University, the Levinger Lab—led by Professor Nancy E. Levinger—has long been a pioneer in exploring how molecules behave in nanoconfined environments. Recently, the Levinger group has added studies exploring how plant material can withstand cryoprotectant treatments that help it survive at ultralow temperatures. […]
Figure 1. Joulia lab (June 2025) Meet the Joulia Lab at the National Heart and Lung Institute Dr. Régis Joulia leads a newly established research group based at the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at Imperial College London. Supported by funding from the Wellcome Trust and other charitable organizations, the Joulia Lab focuses on […]
Simplify your tissue sectioning. Preserve integrity. Eliminate freezing artifacts. Traditional cryostats have long been the go-to tool for tissue sectioning, but they come with significant drawbacks—freezing damage, bulky design, and intensive maintenance. The Compresstome VF-510-0Z offers a modern alternative: a next-generation vibrating microtome that enables fast, reliable sectioning of live or fixed tissues—without the need […]
Precisionary Europe Is Here to Support Our Researchers! We’re excited to share an important announcement: Precisionary Instruments now has an official European presence—Precisionary Europe! 🎉 For years, our Compresstome® vibratomes have been helping researchers around the world make breakthroughs in neuroscience, physiology, cancer biology, and many other fields. In Europe, our valued partners at Red […]
Meet Dr. Susan Majka and Her Lab’s Mission Dr. Susan M. Majka is a Professor of Medicine at National Jewish Health and a leading researcher in the field of lung regeneration, microvascular biology, and endothelial progenitor cell (mvEPC) function. Her lab is jointly affiliated with the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and the Gates […]
Advancing Neuroscience Through Live Imaging of the Brain’s Extracellular Space We are honored to spotlight the work of Dr. Virginia Puente, an MSCA and María Zambrano researcher at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). A pharmacist by training, Dr. Puente leads an ambitious and innovative research program centered on understanding how the extracellular space […]
