Oscillating Tissue Slicer (OTS) 5000

For Research Only – Not For Human Use

The OTS5000 Tissue Slicer sections fresh tissue slices in user-defined travel windows and reduces blade travel time between sections. Slicer head design minimizes vibration that causes tissue distortion. (<20 micron Z movement).
