32

Tissue-Tek AutoSection® is more than just a motorized microtome, it is a microtome with a brain. Optimized for use with Accu-Edge® High Profile blades, the Tissue-Tek AutoSection will conserve valuable tissue and provide high-quality sections with the reproducibility required for routine and advanced staining.

Extraordinary innovation
