VIBRATOME 1500

VIBRATOME 3000 PLUS STARTER AND PROFESSIONAL CE

The NEW Vibratome 3000 Plus Sectioning System provides a versatile means of sectioning fresh or fixed, animal, or plant tissues. The 3000 employs a vibrating blade principle which allows sectioning without freezing or embedding. The creation of artifacts, the alteration of morphology, the destruction of enzyme activities, and other deleterious effect inherent in freezing or embedding procedures are thus avoided. The 3000 Plus incorporates a full english text display for added ease and usability. The 3000 Plus utilizes the Vibratome Companies "ZERO-Z" Technology which dramatically reduced z-axis vibrations. The 3000 Plus provides the best quality section in the Vibratome product line.

The Vibratome 3000 also comes with an industry unique service contract as standard. Since all vibratory microtomes are mechanical assemblies, they will change over time as mechanical parts wear and age. Therefore, when you are talking about controling z-axis deflection to within microns, it must be checked and tuned as the instrument ages. When you purchase a Vibratome 3000 Plus Starter, you get a one year service tuning contract at no charge that allows you to send the instrument back to the Vibratome Company once a year for tuning and clean up. Another reason the Vibratome Company is the world leader in vibratory microtomes.

What our customers say:
“Of course, I know the Vibratome 3000 is the only slicer in the world which has real small Z-deflection. I checked it. I would like to tell your other customers this truth if you need.” Jun Wang, Dr. Zucker lab, University of California, Berkeley

Quantification aside, the 1500 gives more viable slices (no failed slices so far and easier to get healthy whole cell recordings - about 1/2 the time to find a good cell using blind patch technique) from brainstem and hippocampus than our EMS OTS3000 machine.
