The New Standard in Precision Tissue Slicing.
Advanced Vibratome Technology for Life Science and Biomedical Research
The EMS 9000SMZ Vibratome is our most advanced vibrating microtome, engineered for precise sectioning of live and fixed brain tissue. Trusted by neuroscience, cardiac, lung research, liver research, organoid research and plant research labs worldwide.
When your research depends on high-integrity tissue slices, compromise is not an option. The 9000SMZ Vibrating Microtome delivers unmatched control, slice quality, and tissue viability — making it the ideal vibratome for applications across electrophysiology, imaging, pathology, toxicology, and organ research
Features
- Proven high-quality slices with high cell viability
- No chatter marks
- Variable blade frequency and amplitude to cater for all tissue types
- Precise control of advance speed, adjustable during slicing, for the perfect slice
- Measure and correct blade Z-axis deflection (down to 0.1μm), essential for quality slices
- Slice window mode for fast, automatic sectioning
- Clear visibility of tissue; positional adjustments can be made during slicing
- Store up to 8 user slice profiles for easy recall
