Campden Instruments @campdeninstruments.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

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. To learn more: shorturl.at/sfkYJ

Does the rhyme "righty tighty, lefty loosey" live in your head rent-free when you screw in screws? Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to our left-hand screws needed to secure the blade to the holder. To all of our vibratome users, check out this new rhyme, thanks to AI, to help avoid making mistakes!

Tips for securing blades to the blade holder: picture of the blade holder design on Campden Instruments vibratomes with arrows over the two screws that secure the blade. The left-handed thread screw must be twisted in a counter-clockwise direction which is different than standard screws.

To help people remember this we have come up with the following rhyme thanks to AI:
Left screw has a backward thread-
Turn it wrong, you'll strip it dead.
Tight is counterclockwise there-
so, twist with care, and be aware!

As we prepare a big announcement, we think it is a great time to peek into the past. Have you ever wondered how Campden Instruments got its name? The company was originally founded back in 1970 on Campden Hill Road, in the Kensington area of London, so the name initially helped people locate us!
