The highest degree of reproducible tissue sectioning is possible when using anatomically correct, organ-shaped wells that cradle delicate tissue within stainless steel or acrylic matrices. Specialized matrices are available to accurately slice soft tissues, including the brain, spinal cord, and heart. Channels are cut at precise intervals of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 mm, ensuring precision of slicing thickness. These tissue matrices greatly improve precision and repeatability. Coronal or sagittal orientations are available for mouse, rat, gerbil, hamster, guinea pig, and rabbit in either stainless steel or acrylic. All matrices are simple to clean, easy to sterilize, and provide consistent performance.
