A precision rotary microtome for micron-thin, chatter-free sections — ribbon after ribbon, every shift.
Ribbon after ribbon, section-thin precision — all shift, every shift.
Automatic Microtome
Diagnosis lives in micron-thin detail. Our rigid automatic microtome cuts smooth, uniform sections from paraffin blocks — the vibration-free rigidity and steady advance that keep ribbons free of chatter, folds and tears.

What this instrument does — and why it matters in your lab
The microtome is where all the upstream work is finally cut into a section — and where chatter, folds, thick/thin bands and tears show up if the instrument is not rigid or well-maintained. A histology lab needs consistent micron-thin sections, a safe blade routine and predictable feed, day after day.
A microtome cuts micron-thin sections from a paraffin block for staining and reading. The block is trimmed (coarse feed), then sectioned at the set thickness with a smooth handwheel or motorised advance; sections are floated out on a water bath and picked up on slides. Rigidity, a good blade holder and a controlled advance are what keep sections free of chatter, folds and tears.

Suitable for hospitals, medical colleges & diagnostic labs
Used by every histopathology lab — hospitals, medical colleges and diagnostic centres. Teaching labs value a safe handwheel lock and disposable-blade compatibility for trainees. Purchase teams ask for type, thickness range, blade-holder and safety features; the pathology department checks section quality; biomedical checks build quality and (for motorised units) the electrical requirement.
Practical points before you buy and install
Common questions before buying
- Rigidity and build — the main defence against chatter and vibration.
- Section-thickness range and increments, and trimming/coarse feed.
- Blade-holder type and disposable-blade compatibility.
- Specimen orientation and a safe handwheel lock (important with trainees).
- Service, spares and blade supply.
Practical points before installation
- Place on a stable, vibration-free bench.
- For motorised units, confirm the electrical point.
- Keep blades and a water bath ready for the first sections.
What usually goes wrong in labs
- Chatter and vibration lines — insufficient rigidity, a loose block/blade or a worn mechanism.
- Folds and tears — blade angle/clearance or block temperature issues.
- Thick/thin sections — advance mechanism or block-holder problems.
- Blade injuries — handwheel not locked during block/blade changes.
Maintenance points
- Keep the mechanism clean and lubricated per schedule.
- Change blades correctly and dispose of them safely.
- Check clearance angle and block-holder tightness.
- Always engage the handwheel lock during changes; keep a maintenance log.
Documents supplied with installation
- PDI checklist
- Installation checklist and site-readiness note
- Operating manual with safe blade-change procedure
- Final QC checklist
- Warranty certificate and AMC/CMC terms
- Service report format
Operator training points
- Trimming and sectioning technique
- Correct blade change and disposal
- Setting clearance angle and thickness
- Using the handwheel safety lock — every time
AMC / CMC considerations
AMC/CMC covers preventive maintenance of the advance mechanism and blade holder, cleaning/lubrication and priority response.
Technician & biomedical notes
Technician notes
- Engage the handwheel lock before any block or blade change — this is the one rule that prevents injuries.
- If sections chatter, check block clamping, blade tightness and clearance before anything else.
- Match blade profile to the tissue; a dull or wrong blade causes folds and tears.
- Keep the mechanism clean — wax build-up affects the advance.
Biomedical / maintenance notes
- Provide a stable, vibration-free bench (and power for motorised units).
- Verify the safety lock and advance mechanism at installation.
- Hold PDI/installation/QC checklists and AMC service reports.
- Plan blade and spare supply.

Common questions
What section thickness can it cut?
on request with trimming/coarse feed for facing the block.
Does it take disposable blades?
on request Disposable-blade compatibility improves safety and section quality and is preferred in teaching labs.
Is it manual or motorised?
[Manual / semi-motorised / motorised — confirm for the model.] We help you choose based on volume and operator preference.
How is operator safety handled?
A handwheel safety lock must be engaged during every block and blade change; training covers safe blade handling and disposal.
What causes chatter or folds in sections?
Chatter is usually rigidity/clamping or a loose blade; folds and tears are usually blade angle/clearance or block temperature. We cover troubleshooting in training.
What maintenance is required?
Regular cleaning and lubrication of the mechanism, correct blade change and disposal, and clearance/holder checks. We provide the routine and a maintenance log.
Is training provided?
Yes — installation includes sectioning technique, safe blade change, thickness/clearance setting and the safety lock.
Is AMC/CMC available?
