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 […]
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. […]
