Product Overview
This model is specially developed according to market demand, introducing advanced technics from overseas. It is widely used in biological teaching, scientific institute research, and more. It is designed to cut fresh or specific specimens from animals or plants without the need for embedding or cooling processes. Consequently, specimens remain intact, and cells stay active and well-preserved.
It provides excellent conditions for immunocytochemistry research and neurobiology related to spinal and cerebrum disorders. This model is an ideal choice for fields including electron microscopy, dissection, cyemology, physiology, and general biological scientific research.
Note: Research indicates a 10μm minimum section setting range for brain or spinal cord specimens, and 30μm for fresh brain, heart, and kidney specimens.
