Warranty
: Seller warrants to Buyer that this vibratome will be free of defects in materials and workmanship and will work properly for
two
years.
Biennial maintenance service is recommended to prolong life of the vibratome.
Service contract can be purchased separately.
We only refurbish vibratomes with minimal to no wear. We never refurbish heavily used instruments. Hence the 2 year warranty - longest in the industry.
All vibratomes offered on ebay (other than listed by science_geeks) are heavily used and require very expensive repairs.
Some vibratomes on ebay are described as
USED but in good working condition. This is just one of the deceptions used by some sellers
. All these USED (Pre-owned) vibratomes were used for many years without a maintenance service and their slicing quality is low due to wear in the linear stage, motor, and excessive Z-vibrations.
Even if you buy a somewhat functional USED vibratome, it's likely to break within 1-2 months of use. That is why
warranty on USED vibratomes is limited to
30 days.
Manufacturer's description:
The Vibratome 1000 is commonly used to produce monolayer or thick sections of fixed or fresh tissue under physiological conditions without freezing or embedding, maintaining the morphology, enzyme activity and cell viability of the tissue. The design of the vibratome allows to minimize artifacts, compression distortion, cell destruction and other inherent deleterious effects of sectioning.
Specs:
- Total Vertical Specimen Stroke 12mm
- Adjustable horizontal vibrations amplitude: 0-1.25mm
- Minimal s
ection thickness: 10 microns
- Maximum Specimen size 25 x 25 x 10mm
- Sectioning speed 0-1.25mm/s
- Return stroke speed 1.25mm/s
- Maximum Sectioning range 30mm
- Bath size 146 x 146 x 50mm
- Repeatable height adjustment 10 microns
- Adjustable specimen angle 0-50 degrees
The Vibratome 1000 Tissue Sectioning System has maintained the reputation of a rock solid tissue sectioning system. Researchers from around the globe have relied on the Vibratome 1000 for their fresh and fixed tissue sectioning needs for over 30 years.
With the Vibratome 1000 Tissue Sectioning Systems, the biological viability of the tissue is maintained, with no embedding or freezing to change the characteristics of specimens before further examination. They cut fresh or fixed human, animal, plant tissue and even some non-biological materials, evenly without distortion.
Typical applications include: enzyme histochemistry, tissue pathology, autoradiology, water soluble compounds, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, fluorescent microscopy, tissue pathology, botanical studies, and preparation step prior to electron microscopy.
