What Our Customers Say

Our lab has two [Campden] vibratomes used to generate precision-cut lung slices from both animal and human tissue as well as precision-cut slices from other organs. We are particular happy with the consistency in slice generation, flexibility and range of slice thickness, ease of use, and last but not least the customer support offered by Campden Instruments

John Stegmayr, PhD, Lund University

Our laboratory uses both animal and human tissue in acute and organotypic culture brain slice experiments. We have two [Campden] vibratomes in daily use which form the backbone of our slice preparations – the reliability and repeatability provided by the slicer’s Z-axis stability and calibration mechanism means that our preparations get off to the best possible start. The [Campden] vibratome produces the highest quality brain slices of any vibratome I have used, allowing us to generate in vivo-like oscillations in slice preparations. On top of this the service and support from Campden has been second to none.
