Vibratomes

Description:

This equipment allows cutting thin slices of tissue. It is similar to a microtome but uses a vibrating blade to cut through the tissues.

The vibration amplitude, speed, and blade angle can all be controlled. Fixed or fresh tissue pieces are embedded in agarose at a low gelling temperature.

The resulting agarose block containing the tissue piece is then attached to a metal block and sectioned while submerged in a water or buffer bath. Individual sections are collected with a fine brush and transferred onto slides or multiwell plates for staining.
