VIBRATOME CLASSIC - TISSUE SECTIONING SYSTEM

 

The VIBRATOME Classic is the same original design vibrating blade tissue sectioning system that researchers have relied upon for over 20 years.

 

 

CLASSIC FEATURES:

 

  • Ideal for sectioning fresh soft tissue
  • Simple robust mechanical design
  • Can use standard razor blades
  • Preserves morphology and enzyme activity

 

 

 

 

 

The Vibratome system ensures that the viability of the tissue is maintained, with no embedding or freezing to change the characteristics of specimens before further examination.  The system enables fresh or fixed human, animal or plant tissue to be cut evenly without distortion.  As a general guide it should be possible to cut fresh brain tissue to 30-40 microns thickness using standard razor blade or disposable type microtome blades.  Thinner sections can be achieved routinely by using a glass or sapphire knife on fresh or fixed tissue.
