General Description:
-
Vibroslice is designed to
cut sections of fresh, unfixed tissue for in-vitro recordings,
tissue culture and microassay work.
-
Vibroslice can be used to
section fixed tissue without previously embedding or freezing.
-
Vibroslice will section
tissue such as brain stem and liver, maintaining the integrity of
surface.
-
Ultra-low advance speed
is now available on motorized models.
-
The speed of oscillation
has been increased.
-
New blade holder for both
ceramic and slim stainless steel blades is incorporated on all
Vibroslice models.
-
The blade oscillates at a
fixed lateral displacement of 1.0mm at a frequency set by the user.
-
All models are supplied
with:
- Removable Tissue Holder and Bath (standard model)
- 50 Stainless Steel and two
Ceramic Blades
-
The Removable Tissue
Holder and Bath allows tissue to be prepared and stored, ready for
later use and provides for easy cleaning which prevents carryover of
fixative between fixed and unfixed tissue.

The motorized tissue
transport Model MA752 |
| Control of
the speed of advance of the tissue to be sectioned is set on a rotary
dial and the user then presses a footswitch leaving both hands free
during operation. This model is recommended for use in cutting serial
sections for reconstruction or for producing multiple sections. Both
the HA752 and the MA752 are fitted with the Standard Tissue Bath and
Holder. Optionally, this can be replaced by Autoclavable Bath and/or
Tilting Tissue Holder. The standard cutting head can be removed for
autoclaving in applications where sterility is important. |

The manual tissue
transport Model HA752
The manual advance of the section gives complete control during
sectioning. The HA752 is recommended for use in producing a small
number of sections or for use on tissues with differing mechanical
properties.
|
|
The remote motorized
Model ROMA752 |
| This
instrument was designed especially for work with hazardous tissues
such as those containing Prions or rabies infection. The cutting head,
tissue bath and associated drive mechanisms are operated remotely from
the control box. Thus the slicing portion of this instrument can be
placed inside a controlled environment such as a thin film isolator. A
tissue bath and cutting head capable of withstanding autoclaving at
140 0 C are included. |
