McIIwain Tissue Chopper

Unlike other sectioning methods or cell disruption techniques, the McIlwain Mechanical Tissue Chopper does not destroy the fine structure of cell materials.

Applications

• Metabolic experiments
• Microscopic determination of enzyme reaction products
• Materials that lend themselves readily to sectioning, including specimens of the intestine, kidney, liver, parts of the CNS, pituitary and other glands, spleen, and stomach

Product features

• Produces uniform 1 µm- to 1 mm-thick slices from biopsy specimens or small organs in less than one minute(preliminary fixation may be required)
• Fresh tissue sections, 5 to 15 µm thick, often have sufficient transparency for examination by light microscopy
