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.

  • Original concept of John Jefferys, (University of Birmingham Medical School, UK).

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. 

Model ROMA752
