FAQs of Freezing Microtome:
Q: How does the integrated freezer compartment aid in sectioning biological tissues?
A: The integrated freezer compartment rapidly chills the specimen plate to temperatures as low as -30C, allowing tissues to freeze quickly and uniformly. This rapid freezing is essential for maintaining tissue integrity and achieving accurate, thin sections for microscopic examination.
Q: What types of laboratories is this freezing microtome suitable for?
A: This microtome is ideal for histology and pathology laboratories where precise sectioning of biological tissues is required. Its robust, non-electric design makes it especially suitable for laboratories without continuous electricity and in environments where reliability and easy maintenance are priorities.
Q: When should I use a freezing microtome instead of a rotary microtome?
A: A freezing microtome is preferred when working with fresh or unfixed tissue samples that require quick freezing to preserve cellular structure. It is particularly valuable for rapid diagnosis or studies involving enzyme activity and certain immunohistochemistry protocols.
Q: What is the capacity and sample size limit for this microtome?
A: The microtome can accommodate specimens up to 30 x 25 mm and offers a specimen chamber capacity of 2.5 litres. This allows for the efficient sectioning of a range of tissue types and sizes without compromising on precision or ease of handling.
Q: How is section thickness adjusted and controlled?
A: Section thickness is manually adjustable between 5 and 40 microns using the lever control mechanism. This allows users to produce thin sections tailored to their specific analytical or diagnostic needs.
Q: What maintenance is required for this microtome?
A: This freezing microtome is designed to be maintenance-free. Its anti-rust, powder-coated stainless steel construction and toughened glass surfaces ensure durability, while the manual operation eliminates the need for electrical servicing or complex parts replacement.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a manually operated, non-electric microtome?
A: Manual operation ensures precise user control, eliminates dependency on electricity, and makes the instrument suitable for remote or resource-limited locations. The design also enhances safety, durability, and ease of cleaning within busy laboratory environments.
