Ems-5000 With Refrigeration

The EMS 5000 now features a new innovative design of the slicer head which minimizes Z-Axis vibration. This improvement dramatically improves slice surface integrity and is especially beneficial in the field of fresh tissue where IR/DIC imaging methods are concerned. The blade holder accepts razor, sapphire, diamond and glass blades.

To reduce time between slices the EMS 5000 series features a user programmable travel window (cutting window). This allows the sectioning cutting range of the blade to be customized to the specimen sample. This feature of "automatic sectioning" offers a beginning advance and end advance further automating the EMS 5000. In conjunction with our "home button" the programmable window guarantees rapid sectioning of even the largest of specimens. As well, the EMS 5000 allows the sectioning of samples in two different modes. In single slice mode, the unit sections samples and harvests them while the blade repositions itself to perform the next slice and in the multiple slice mode the EMS 5000 will automatically perform multiple uniform slices.

The EMS 5000 series control panel has been totally redesigned to allow for ambidextrous and ergonomic operation. The keypad has been sealed to avoid buffer spill seepage. The tray is made from molded clear polycarbonate for improved viewing of the slicing operation. The tray is removable to facilitate specimen mounting and cleaning. Two white LED's are installed in the blade head, which provide constant cold illumination of the specimen during the slicing process.

The EMS 5000 series is engineered for maximum stability ensures even the most delicate of tissue to be cut successfully every time. The knife holder allows any blade (as per list) to be secured and the blade angle set from 10-20 degrees. The specimen mount is x, y, z axis adjustable and the knife advance is continuously adjustable with a touch of the keypad from 0-5mm/s and the section thickness is now adjustable in 1 micron increments ranging from 1-999 microns. Our precision slicer features automatic touch selection of section thickness, blade speed, advance, and a user-defined travel window so that the consecutive sections may be cut easily and rapidly. Other EMS 5000 features include: Touch pad control of the blade height, slice counter / slice thickness, precise bar graph displays of blade oscillation and advance speeds. Blade oscillation is adjustable from 50-5000 cycles/minute and advance speed is adjustable continuously from 100 microns - 5mm/sec.

The unit comes complete with gooseneck magnifying lens, media tray (2.5" wide) and pedestal, specimen vice holder, blocks, as well as a foot switch with 6' cable. A large tray (3.5" wide) is available as an option and comes complete with fixed stage and adjustable pedestals.

The tissue pedestal with pivotal pin (included with media tray), allows for the mounting of a specimen directly to the pedestal and the ability to change the angle of your specimen relative to the blade, offering you perfect specimen orientation. The sample vice with pivotal pins (also included in package) allows for the adherence of your specimen directly to a mounting block.

The EMS 5000 series meets the highest standards for precision and accuracy. It meets or exceeds the performance of units on the market costing twice as much.

The EMS 4500 Tissue Slicer is a scaled down version of the EMS 5000. All of the specifications of the EMS 5000 are the same for the EMS 4500. The only difference between the two units are as follows:

The EMS 4500 does not include Adjustable window, multi-Slice function, Home functionality or the Foot Switch, Tissue Blocks or Vice Holder accessories.

The EMS 4500 can be upgraded to the EMS 5000 unit at any time.
