Campden Instruments Vibrotomes
Premium Vibrating Microtomes
For over 30 years, studies of visual patching and extracellular recording of neurological, heart and lung tissue have been published using Campden Instruments vibrating microtomes (vibrotomes). The latest generation Model 7000smz-2 and the 5100mz series represent significant advances in precision at a lower cost than competitive units. In addition, they are easy to use providing service free operation and performance longevity.
Our Vibrotomes

John Stegmayr, PhD,

Our lab has two 7000smz-2 Vibrotomes 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

I have been using the 5100mz-Plus for a bit over a year to produce ex vivo brain cultures. We are very happy with the performance of the vibrating microtome which is rather easy to use. We generate slices with great viability right after sectioning and would highly recommend the microtome

Stuart Greenhill, PhD,

Our laboratory uses both animal and human tissue in acute and organotypic culture brain slice experiments. We have two 7000smz-2 vibrotomes 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 7000smz-2 produces the highest quality brain slices of any vibrotome 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.
