We are in the final stretch now before we will be in San Diego at #SfN2025!

This week, we wanted to highlight a different application area that we don't discuss so often: research into neuromuscular diseases! From wheel running to tissue slicing, investigating all levels is necessary!
November 11, 2025 at 11:01 AM
At #SfN2025, learn how Campden Instruments can help you investigate Neurodegenerative Diseases via translational behavioural studies as well as precision tissue slicing of everything from post-mortem samples to patient derived organoids to better understand the mechanistic underpinnings of disease.
November 7, 2025 at 11:30 AM
At Campden Instruments, we unite cognitive testing with advanced precision tissue slicing, giving researchers the power to correlate behavioural changes in ageing to the cellular mechanisms of learning and memory.

To learn more, come say hi at #SfN2025!

The end of October means we are getting closer to the biggest Neuroscience conference of the year- #SfN2025!

Our sales executive, Cassandra will be attending! If you want to make sure to meet her, why not schedule a meeting? Slots can be booked here: https://ow.ly/vFQu50XkiHE

Hallo Heidelberg! This week we are thrilled to be at #EESOrgan learning about everything organoids! If you are here, make sure to stop by the World Precision Instruments stand to learn more about tools to measure TEER and the 9000SMZ vibrating microtome to slice whatever tissue you want!
October 22, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Did you know that you can also slice living organoids on a vibrating microtome? It is not the easiest, but is definitely feasible!

To learn more, you can meet our sales executive at the #EESOrgan Meeting next week with our distributor, World Precision Instruments! Will we see you there?

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we support researchers working to understand the brain and translate those insights into real-world impact: from preclinical discovery to clinical progress.

Better science means better mental health for all. 💙

New series coming up where we highlight Bussey-Saksida Touchscreen Chamber tasks!

First is the 4-Choice Gambling Task! This task is used to investigate decision-making which can be implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Our latest application note, drumroll please, is on precision cut liver slices (PCLS)!

Many thanks to Dr Ben Leaker for giving us insights into the how and why PCLS are a useful tool!

If you are interested you can read the full application note here: campdeninstruments.com/downloads/ap...

We're detoxing our feed with a new application note featuring a sample type we don't usually discuss.

Can you guess what sample has been sectioned and what the application note is about from these fluorescent microscopy images?

Comment your guess and see if you were right: ow.ly/2J9c50WYajn

Our new 9000SMZ vibratome is on tour! If you are at the #BCVS2025 meeting in Baltimore this week, make sure to stop by our sister company, @aurorascientific.bsky.social, stand to see the new model and to learn more about how to make the most physiologically relevant myocardial slices!
🚨 Day 1 at #BCVS25 is off to a strong start!
We're excited to welcome Andrew Klein, our new Life Science Manager, making his debut at the Aurora Scientific booth. Come by Booth 22 and see what's new in muscle physiology innovation! 💪🫀 #CardioScience #AuroraScientific

Today is World Brain Day, a day that we at Campden prioritise! The day aims to highlight how important the brain is in overall health and increase understanding of disorders. This year's theme is brain health for all ages, demonstrating that disorders can occur to the brain at all stages of life.

Last week we highlighted the final quality checks taking place on the first batch of the 9000SMZ vibrating microtomes, and today we are hitting another major milestone: the new models are being packed and prepared for shipping!

July 14, 2025 at 12:49 PM
Before it begins entering labs all around the world, final quality control checks of the new 9000SMZ vibrating microtome must take place.

The last step in the process is to evaluate the z-axis deflection, which is crucial for good slices.

Next step is packaging!

Summer is here, so it is also time for summer students in the lab who need to learn lab tools quick! When designing the new interface and features of the new 9000SMZ vibratome, an easy-to-use interface was a priority.

Good morning @uclnpp.bsky.social! Campden is spending the day at the Neuroscience Symposium, and are eager to show off the new 9000SMZ vibrating microtome!

If you are at the event today, make sure to stop by, try out the new interface, and discover how the new model can produce great brain slices!
June 18, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Want to get your hands on the new 9000SMZ vibrating microtome and learn more about all the new features? Well, all of those attending the @uclnpp.bsky.social Symposium this week can!

You wouldn’t use the same cutting technique for a crusty baguette and soft sponge cake, so why would biological tissue be any different?

To accommodate tissue variability and produce superior slices, our new 9000SMZ has the largest range of slicing parameters yet.
