Vibrating Blade Microtomy Solutions

Cutting Edge Precision

Sectioning fresh tissue specimens with Leica Biosystems VT Series maintains the morphology, enzyme activity and cell viability of the tissue.

Their use also minimizes artifacts, compression distortion, cell destruction and other inherent deleterious effects of sectioning.

The vibrating blade microtomes can greatly improve productivity and reduce costs in the laboratory by producing high quality sections with viable cells without the need of replicating experiments.

Leica VT1000 S

Ergonomic hand rests and direct access to all functional elements provide exceptional comfort and added safety. The VT1000 S features very fine adjustable knife advance speed, a freely programmable cutting window, and accelerated return knife speed to minimize overall sectioning time of even the smallest specimens.

The VT1000 S vibrating blade microtome is designed to consistently produce thin sections of fixed tissue specimens, even non-homogeneous specimens that are difficult to section.

Key Features:

Ergonomic design for comfortable working conditions.
Programmable specimen retraction.
Freely programmable sectioning window.
Single and continuous stroke options for ultimate versatility.
Easy mounting and removing of knife holder and buffer tray for efficient workflow.
Dark buffer tray provides excellent contrast to the specimen.

Large Workload Capacity

The 9-rack output drawer can handle a total capacity of 270 slides. That allows users to focus on the many other important tasks throughout the lab.
Never Worry about Broken Glass

The unique glass detection sensor automatically removes and transfers broken coverslips to better protect the safety of the user while handling slides and to help maintain the integrity of tissue specimens.
Capability to Handle Multiple Labels

The new coverslipping process supports smooth handling of different slide labels, providing flexibility you demand.

Leica VT1200

The semi-automated Leica VT1200 has been designed for users who prefer to manually control sectioning parameters, such as section thickness and cutting stroke for each individual section.

Key Features:

Vertical deflection of the blade can be measured with the optional Vibrocheck device and minimized below 1μm.
Blade holder can be rotated through 90° to permit accurate insertion of a whole double edged razor blade, sapphire knife or injector blade.
Palm rests on the ice bath or double-walled buffer tray allow a relaxed, ergonomic working position.
Built-in LED illumination provides natural, comfortable lighting during sectioning without adding heat, which could deteriorate the tissue. The Leica VT1200 features 5-step adjustable light intensity.

Rigorous cyber security including encryption and login controls
Easily and securely scan slides at a spoke location and store images at a Hub location for all sites to log in and view images
HL7 and PACS ready, for easy integration into LIS, LIMS or PACS

Leica VT1200 S

The fully-automated Leica VT1200 S is recommended for multi user laboratories where users of both semi-automated vibrating blade microtomes and fully automated instruments work together.

VT1200 S can be used in both semi- or fully-automated sectioning modes depending on the users’ requirements. The fully automated mode of the VT1200 S offers automatic feeding, specimen retraction, and a cutting window. The mode of operation can be individually selected, and settings can be stored for up to 8 users. Automatic feeding, specimen retraction and use of a cutting window are designed to minimize sectioning time.

High Quality H&E Staining System

SelecTech is a hematoxylin and eosin staining system consisting of Hematoxylin 560, Blue Buffer 8, Define, Alcoholic Eosin Y 515 and Eosin Trichrome 515.

SelecTech standardizes the reagents and stains used in the hematoxylin and eosin staining procedure. The reagents and stains that make up this new system must pass vigorous analytical chemistry standards and performance tests.

The built-in quality assurance parameters assure consistent results. The reagents and stains in SelecTech are designed to complement each other to produce a crisp, well delineated hematoxylin and eosin stain.
