FAQs of Fully Automatic Microtome:
Q: How does the fully automatic microtome ensure high precision during tissue sectioning?
A: The microtome features a microprocessor-controlled system and motorized feed motion, allowing section thickness adjustments in 0.25 m increments and accuracy of 1 m. This ensures consistent and highly precise tissue slices for analysis.
Q: What safety features are integrated into this microtome?
A: Safety is prioritized with an emergency stop button, safety hand guard, automatic sample retraction, and an adjustable universal knife holder to minimize risk during operation and specimen change.
Q: When is it beneficial to use variable cutting speed in histology work?
A: Variable cutting speed (up to 300 mm/s) enables optimal sectioning of tissues of different densities and types. Faster speeds are effective for tough samples, while slower speeds offer better control for delicate specimens, improving workflow efficiency.
Q: Where can this microtome be installed and operated?
A: Designed for indoor, dust-free laboratory environments, it fits conveniently on standard benches due to its compact rectangular cabinet (510 x 550 x 300 mm). It is suitable for hospitals, research centers, and educational institutions across India.
Q: What process is involved in sectioning paraffin-embedded tissue using this microtome?
A: To section paraffin-embedded samples, mount the specimen securely, select desired thickness via the digital LCD display, adjust the knife holder, and initiate automatic cutting. Waste is collected in the included tray for easy disposal.
Q: How is ease of use and maintenance achieved with this unit?
A: User-friendly digital controls, pre-installed accessories (disposable blade holder, waste tray, operation manual), and a maintenance-free design ensure easy operation. The robust powder-coated steel frame requires minimal upkeep, supporting long-term use.
Q: What are the primary benefits of choosing this microtome for tissue sectioning?
A: Key advantages include precise sectioning, enhanced safety, variable speed control, adjustable features, reliable accuracy, and a large storage capacity for sample blocks. Its automation and robust build streamline laboratory workflows and consistently deliver high-quality results.
