Campden - Model 5100mz-Plus -Vibrotome for Electrophysiological Applications
The 5100mz-Plus Vibrotome is a sophisticated instrument designed for researchers requiring precise tissue slicing, especially suitable for maintaining the viability of slices for electrophysiological field recordings. It features a Z-axis calibration unit with a calibration device capable of adjusting the blade deflection to 2 micrometers, significantly reducing slice surface damage and maintaining cell viability. The vibrotome operates with a vibration frequency ranging from 50 to 80 Hz and features an adjustable amplitude of 0.5mm to 1.5mm, allowing for fine control of the blade advancement, with a minimum speed of 0.1 mm/sec. Its remote control capability ensures sterile operation within culture hoods, and the user-friendly interface, shared with the premium 7000smz-2 series, facilitates comprehensive parameter adjustments. Optional features, such as a Peltier cooled bath and a cold light magnifier, enhance its functionality, making it suitable for prolonged experiments. An ice water bath component ensures easy maintenance and cleaning.Most popular related searches

The 5100mz-Plus is perfect for those who need to keep slices viable for longer e.g. for electrophysiological field recordings. The user can calibrate the Z-axis deflection of the blade to 2 µm with the adjustable blade holder and “Opti-cal” Calibration device. Minimal Z-axis deflection reduces the “chatter” and minimises damage to the slice surface, leading to greater viability of the cells on the slice surface.
