Product description

Fully automated vibrating blade microtome with adjustable frequency, amplitude, and knife speed for precise tissue sectioning.

The Leica VT1000 S is a fully automatic vibrating blade microtome designed for precise sectioning of both fixed and fresh biological tissues. This instrument is widely utilised in neurophysiology, neuropathology, experimental pathology, botany, and various industrial applications.

Key features include:

  • Adjustable frequency and amplitude: Users can modify the frequency between 0 and 100 Hz and select amplitudes from 0.2 to 1 mm in 0.2 mm increments, accommodating diverse application needs.
  • Precise knife advance speed: The microtome offers finely adjustable knife advance speeds ranging from 0.025 to 2.5 mm/s, ensuring optimal sectioning quality.
  • Fully automated cutting mode: Features such as a high-speed knife return stroke and a programmable sectioning window expedite the sectioning process, even for small specimens.
  • Specimen protection: An adjustable specimen retraction mechanism minimises tissue damage during the knife's return stroke.

This microtome is commonly employed in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and industrial settings for applications such as immunohistochemistry, cell culturing, and electrophysiology. The Leica VT1000 S remains a relevant and widely used instrument in the field of biological research.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
