About Freezing Microtome
Freezing Microtome is designed to serveaccurate and quick diagnosis in surgery. It has a table clamping device. Thespecimen rises accurately and automatically by a handle. The CO2 freezingattachment is provided with a hard rubber non-conducting plate between thecorrugated surface to which the object is frozen and the rest of the apparatus,which prevents the conduction of heat from the other parts of the apparatus tothe specimen; thus saving time and CO2.
The Automatic feed mechanism can bethrown out of action by turning the Index Finger to the extreme left or it maybe set to cut sections of any desired thickness. Each division of the graduatedscale marks 5m, the Microtome range being 5-40m. The sturdy Knife Holder canbe tilted to a convenient angle of the Knife suitable to the object.

FAQs of Freezing Microtome:
Q: How do I operate the Freezing Microtome for tissue sectioning?
A: To use the microtome, fix the tissue sample to the universal clamp and cool it on the freezing plate using solid CO2 or ice. Adjust the section thickness between 5 and 50 microns via the handle, and carefully cut the sections with the hardened steel knife. The manual operating handle ensures smooth and precise cuts.
Q: What types of biological tissues can be sectioned with this microtome?
A: The instrument is suitable for preparing frozen sections from various biological tissues, including organs and biopsies. Its adjustable thickness and quick-freezing feature make it ideal for pathology, medical research, and histological analysis.
Q: When should maintenance be performed on the Freezing Microtome?
A: Regular cleaning and lubrication are recommended after each use or at least monthly to prevent build-up and ensure smooth operation. Inspection of the cutting knife and other components preserves the instruments longevity and performance.
Q: Where can this microtome be effectively used?
A: This freezing microtome is suitable for laboratories, hospitals, pathology departments, and research institutes. Its durable design and export-quality packing also make it ideal for international shipment and use in various settings.
Q: What is the process for achieving rapid tissue freezing?
A: Rapid freezing is accomplished by applying solid CO2 or ice to the freezing plate, which reaches temperatures down to -30C. This enables tissue samples to be quickly immobilized and ready for precise sectioning without degradation.
Q: What benefits does this manual microtome offer over automatic models?
A: The manual operation provides exceptional control over sectioning thickness and handling, making it highly versatile for various tissue types. With no required power unless using the optional electric freezer, it is reliable during power outages and easy to maintain.
Q: How do the safety features protect users during operation?
A: The anti-slip base stabilizes the unit on work surfaces, preventing accidents and enhancing user safety. The protective cover shields both user and sample during sectioning, reducing exposure to sharp blades and cold surfaces.
