faster, simpler, more productive slicing

Compresstome™ VF-800:

If you want to section a large tissue sample, like a primate brain, VF-800 is your answer. Many neuroanatomy and neuropathology experiments require sectioning entire brains for these large animals, and there have been no answer for this need until now. With the specimen syringe diameter ranging from 75 mm to 150 mm, the VF-800 is capable of sectioning whole brain tissues of small and large primates to as thin as 40 microns.
