Tissue Matrix

Tissue Matrices

The Tissue Matrix is designed to aid the basic research scientist in the free-hand dissection of a wide variety of different tissues and repeatedly slice fresh tissue at intervals as small as 1mm. The TM's are constructed from high grade aluminum to allow for rapid temperature equilibration, ease of cleaning or sterilization and withstand the rigors of daily use.

Features:

• Channels at 1mm intervals
• Channel width is .3mm
• Removable end caps
• Available in 3 basic configurations

Applications:

Biochemical Pharmacology: The reproducible removal of small regions for biochemical analysis, such as the determination of drug and metabolite concentrations. Individual tissues may be either dissected or micropunched from slices formed.

• Anatomy: Precise blocking of tissue prior to microtome sectioning.
• Physiology: Reproducible blocking prior to vibratome sectioning enzymatic dispersion.
