Vibratome
Equipment Introduction
The Leica VT1200S vibratome is designed to meet the highest requirements for neuropathology, neurophysiology (patch-clamp) and electrophysiology fresh and fixed tissue microtomes. The instrument can minimize harmful mechanical effects on tissues. Therefore, the prepared sections are of the best quality, maintaining the cell viability.
