FAQ's of Manual Cryostat Microtome:
Q: How does the section thickness adjustment work on the manual cryostat microtome?
A: The microtome allows users to incrementally set section thickness from 1 to 99 m, using a precise adjustment mechanism. The accuracy of 1 m ensures consistent tissue slices for frozen section analysis or research applications.
Q: What is the process for rapid specimen freezing and sectioning?
A: The integrated cryobar enables quick specimen freeze before sectioning. Once frozen, the operator manually rotates the handwheel to advance the specimen towards the universal blade holder, ensuring efficient cutting of cryo-sections.
Q: Where can this cryostat microtome be used effectively?
A: It is suitable for use in histopathology laboratories, research institutions, pathology centers, and hospital medical labs, supporting applications like frozen section diagnosis and rapid tissue assessment.
Q: When should I use the automatic defrost feature versus manual defrost?
A: Automatic defrost is convenient for routine maintenance, ensuring the chamber remains free of ice without interrupting workflow. Manual defrost can be used for periodic deep cleaning or when specific operational needs arise.
Q: What safety mechanisms are provided during operation?
A: To enhance user safety, the equipment includes a safety lock system, emergency stop function, and a handwheel lock, preventing accidental blade movement or injury during use or maintenance.
Q: How is maintenance managed for this microtome and what accessories are included?
A: Minimal maintenance is needed due to accessible components and the large stainless steel chamber design. Accessories provided include spare blades, universal specimen holders, and a cleaning kit for convenient routine upkeep.
Q: What are the benefits of the LED illuminated chamber and digital temperature display?
A: LED illumination improves visibility when positioning and cutting specimens, while the digital temperature display allows real-time monitoring and control, optimizing section quality and consistency.
