Essential Guide to Rotary Microtomes for Pathology Labs

一、Product Core Introduction

The YSD-1000 Rotary Microtome is specially designed for the needs of cytology and histology research. It is a professional pathological equipment integrating high stability, easy operation, and uniform and continuous slicing. The equipment supports disposable blades and reusable blades, suitable for the preparation of paraffin-embedded tissue sections, and is widely used in hospital pathology departments, university research laboratories, animal and plant research institutions, CDC, etc., and is well recognized by experts and technicians in the field of cytology and histology.

二、Core Product Advantages

1. High-Precision Slicing for Reliable Experimental Results

Adopting a precision mechanical structure and high-quality transmission components, the slicing accuracy error is only ±5%, the minimum slicing thickness is 1μm, and continuous slicing of any thickness in the range of 0-25μm can be achieved. The slices are uniform, continuous, and wrinkle-free, perfectly adapting to the strict requirements of pathological diagnosis for slice quality, and avoiding diagnostic errors caused by uneven slice thickness.

2. High-Stability Operation for Long-Term Work

The overall structure of the equipment is firm, with strong operational stability, which can support long-term continuous slicing operations in the laboratory without jamming or deviation, ensuring slice consistency. At the same time, the equipment is equipped with a handwheel lock, which can fix the handwheel at any position, facilitating operations such as sample installation and blade adjustment, and improving work safety and convenience.

3. User-Friendly Design for Convenient & Efficient Operation

The knife holder supports multi-directional adjustment, adapting to different types of blades, with flexible and convenient operation; the equipment surface is smooth and easy to clean, which can effectively avoid sample cross-contamination and meet laboratory hygiene requirements; the eLCD digital display interface is clear and intuitive, with slice count and thickness parameters at a glance, allowing novices to get started quickly and greatly improving laboratory work efficiency.

4. Multi-Scenario Adaptation for Diverse Needs

The equipment adapts to a maximum sample size of 50×60mm (optional clamp), the sample azimuth angle XY-8° is adjustable, the horizontal feed is 30mm, and the front-back movement range of the knife holder base is 0-50mm, which can meet the slicing needs of different types of tissue samples, and is widely adapted to multiple scenarios such as hospital pathology departments, scientific research laboratories, and animal and plant research.

三、Core Functional Features

· Flexible Knife Holder Design: The knife holder is adjustable in multiple directions, supporting disposable blades and reusable blades, adapting to different slicing needs.

· User-Friendly Operation Design: The handwheel lock can fix the handwheel position, and components such as sample clamp and angle adjustment bolt are easy to operate, improving work efficiency.

· High-Quality Material & Structure: The main body of the equipment is made of high-quality steel, with a firm and durable structure, smooth surface easy to clean, and long service life.

四、Standard Usage Method

Step 1: Equipment Installation and Inspection

Place the microtome on a flat and stable experimental bench to ensure the equipment is placed horizontally without shaking. Check whether all components of the equipment (sample clamp, knife holder, handwheel, digital display system, etc.) are intact, the blade is installed firmly, the handwheel lock function is normal, and the equipment is well grounded.

Step 2: Sample and Blade Installation

Fix the paraffin-embedded tissue block on the sample clamp, tighten the wax block clamp and angle adjustment bolt, adjust the sample azimuth angle to ensure the sample is parallel to the blade. Select a suitable blade (disposable/reusable), install it on the knife holder, tighten the knife holder locking handle, adjust the knife holder position to ensure the blade is sharp and installed firmly.

Step 3: Parameter Setting

Set the section thickness (0-25μm) and trimming thickness (0-500μm) through the thickness dial, and confirm that the parameters displayed on the eLCD screen are correct. Adjust the knife holder position and sample feed according to the sample type to ensure the slicing parameters meet the experimental requirements.

Step 4: Slicing Operation

Unlock the handwheel, rotate the handwheel at a constant speed for trimming. After the sample surface is flat, switch to the set section thickness and start continuous sectioning. During the slicing process, check the slice count in real time through the digital display screen to ensure the slices are uniform and wrinkle-free; if abnormal slicing occurs, stop the operation immediately and check the blade and sample position.

Step 5: Operation Completion and Equipment Maintenance

After slicing is completed, lock the handwheel, remove the sample and blade, clean the blade and equipment surface, and remove residual paraffin and tissue debris. Reset the equipment parameters, turn off the power, perform equipment cleaning and maintenance, and regularly lubricate the transmission components to extend the service life of the equipment.
