Automatic Microtome

Labzee Automatic Microtomes are engineered for high-precision sectioning of paraffin-embedded tissue samples with minimal operator effort. They use motorized feed mechanisms to deliver smooth, consistent cutting for histology and pathology applications. These systems feature programmable section thickness, adjustable speed controls, and advanced safety features for accurate and safe operation. Their ergonomic design, digital interfaces, and memory functions enhance productivity and repeatability in clinical and research laboratories. Our Automatic Microtomes are ideal for use in hospitals, diagnostic centers, teaching labs, and biomedical research facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

1: When is an Automatic Microtome preferred over manual models?

It is preferred when labs require high-throughput, reproducible sectioning with less operator fatigue. Automatic feed and cutting enhance precision and consistency. They are ideal for clinical and research environments.

2: Can section thickness be adjusted digitally?

Yes, Automatic Microtomes offer digital control of section thickness, often from 0.5 µm to 100 µm. Settings can be saved and repeated for multiple samples. This ensures accuracy across different tissue types.

3: Can multiple cutting speeds be configured?

Yes, speed settings can be adjusted to match the specimen type and desired sectioning outcome. Slower speeds are suitable for delicate tissues, while faster speeds enhance efficiency. Programmable modes support workflow flexibility.

4: When should the blade be replaced or rotated?

Blades should be replaced or rotated when section quality decreases or resistance increases. Frequent changes help maintain precision and reduce tissue damage. Always follow safety protocols when handling blades.

5: Can the unit store user-defined cutting programs?

Yes, many Automatic Microtomes include memory functions for saving custom protocols. This reduces setup time and ensures consistency across repeated runs. It also enhances productivity in high-volume labs.
