EMS-5000 Oscillating tissue slicers, 230V

The EMS 5000 with or without refrigeration series may be used for the sectioning of samples for use in the fields of electrophysiology of fresh tissue, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry, Neurophysiology, Neuropathology, Experimental Biology, Histology, Cytology, Botanical Research, Microscopy, Polymer and Materials Science. The EMS 5000 now features a new innovative design of the slicer head which minimises Z-Axis vibration. Our precision slicer features automatic touch selection of section thickness, blade speed, advance, and a user-defined travel window so that the consecutive sections may be cut easily and rapidly. This improvement dramatically improves slice surface integrity and is especially beneficial in the field of fresh tissue where IR/DIC imaging methods are concerned. The unique blade holder has now been modified to accept: razor, sapphire, diamond and glass blades. Engineered for maximum stability ensures even the most delicate of tissue to be cut successfully every time. 

Features:

• Reduce time between slices with user programmable travel window (cutting window). 
• Programmable for rapid sectioning of the largest of specimens.
• Allows the sectioning of samples in two different modes, single slice mode, the unit sections samples and harvests them while the blade repositions itself to perform the next slice and in the multiple slice mode the EMS 5000 will automatically perform multiple uniform slices.
• Control panel redesigned to allow for ambidextrous and ergonomic operation.
• Removable tray is made from moulded clear polycarbonate for improved viewing of the slicing operation. 
• LED's are installed in the blade head for constant cold illumination of the specimen during the slicing process.
• Knife holder allows any blade (as per list) to be secured and the blade angle set from 10-20°, continuously adjustable with a touch of the keypad. 
• Touch pad control of the blade height, slice counter/slice thickness, precise bar graph displays of blade oscillation and advance speeds.
• Designed for easy operation and maintenance. The specimen collecting tray is removable and easy to clean.

The unit comes complete including: 2.5" media tray with pedestal, specimen vice holder for 2.5" tray, razor blades, anodised aluminium blocks- both sizes, foot switch with 6" cable, gooseneck magnifying lens LED lights, adhesive, 1 ⁄16" hex key for blade angle adjustment, and operating instructions, 110V-240V.
