?:definition
  • Instruments used to cut thin slices, cubes, and/or prisms of tissue for laboratory procedures. These devices typically consist of a blade attached near the free end of a pivoting arm, which is designed to bring the blade straight down onto a tissue sample placed on a cutting platform. The cutting platform is typically mounted on a stage that allows for precise lateral movement of the tissue sample/cutting platform to control the width of sample cut. Some tissue chopper stages allow rotation of the stage to allow for creation of cubes and prisms. Both manual and electric tissue choppers in which blade and stage movement are performed by the operator and an electric motor, respectively, are available.
