New Improved Microslicers
for Sectioning Fresh or Fixed Tissue

The DTK Microslicers™ have a unique design for the vibratory motion of the cutting blade. The Microslicer™ vibratory microtomes are well known for their superior results and enjoy an excellent reputation in the research community.

There is a choice of three models:

The Microslicer™ system feature a constant cutting amplitude and a selectable frequency. Both the DTK-Zero1 and the DTK-3000/3000W models feature the Microslicer™ Zero-Z technology with a redesigned cutting head for dramatically reduced Z-axis vibration. All systems have a bath with a simple but effective drain. The specimen tray allow for reduced use of solutions and cooling around it. The layout of the switches on either side of the tray allows for easy operation and reduced spillage on the controls.

Applications: Neuroscience Research, Physiology, Immunocytochemistry, Pharmacology, Pathology, Fluorescent Antibody Study, Histology, Cytology

The retraction mechanism is a function included in the DTK-Zero1 and DTK-3000/3000W models that prevents the retracting blade from touching the face of the specimen. The specimen tray is lowered by 120 micrometers after the cutting of each section and is raised by exactly the same distance when a new cutting cycle starts.

New

Microslicer™ DTK-Zero1

the first tissue sectioning equipment with new technology

The first Tissue Sectioning Equipment with Zero Z technology, dramatically reducing the Z-axis vibration to less than 2.5 microns. This instrument was developed to cut sections of extremely soft tissues like brain, liver or similar difficult to section material. It is also equipped with a very useful specimen retraction system. The motorized specimen advance is manually operated and equipped with a forward/stop/reverse switch in any mode, saving valuable time.

Microslicer™ DTK-3000 / DTK-3000W

Fully automatic. The selection of section thickness is possible at one-micrometer-units with a high-performance stepping motor for specimen advance. It is also equipped with a specimen retraction system. The forward and reverse blade movement is selectable at 1-mm-unit. This model is especially recommended for the cutting of serial sections. The DTK-3000W has been designed for larger specimens and accommodates a cutting blade up to 70mm.
