Frequently Asked Questions
1: Can you explain the section thickness range of this microtome?
Yes, the Automatic Microtome BZFAM-501 offers a versatile section thickness range from 0.5 to 100?µm. This flexibility ensures accurate sample preparation for a variety of histological applications.
2: What makes this model suitable for histology laboratories?
Its adjustable trimming and sectioning settings, compact design, and precision slicing capabilities make it especially suitable for laboratories focused on tissue diagnosis and research.
3: How does the specimen retraction function work?
The retraction feature allows adjustable movement from 10 to 150?µm, preventing specimen damage during the return stroke. It can also be disabled based on specific user requirements.
4: Is this device capable of handling larger tissue specimens?
Yes, with a maximum specimen dimension of 55 × 45 mm and a 60 mm vertical stroke, it can efficiently handle relatively large biological samples.
5: What type of packaging does the product include?
The unit is delivered in a sturdy wooden case, ensuring protection and safe transport of the equipment during shipping and handling.
6: 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.
7: 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.
8: 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.
9: 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.
10: 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.
