Frequently Asked Question
1: What is the significance of the sectioning thickness range in Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100?
In Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 sectioning thickness range of 0.5–100 µm allows flexibility for various sample types and study requirements. Ultra-thin slices (0.5–5 µm) are ideal for detailed histological observations, while thicker sections serve for gross morphology or molecular extractions. This wide range supports both diagnostic and research protocols.
2: How does the specimen head memory function improve workflow efficiency in Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100?
In Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 specimen head memory stores the previous feeding location, allowing immediate repositioning after changing specimens. This reduces alignment time and enhances reproducibility between sectioning sessions.
3: Why is multi-point refrigeration important in the Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100?
Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 Multi-point refrigeration ensures uniform cooling across critical components like the specimen head, chamber, freezing shelves, and knife holder. Consistent temperature minimizes tissue deformation and maintains cutting quality. This stability is essential for reproducible cryo-sectioning results.
4: In Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100, how does the knife anti-collision system enhance user and sample safety?
In Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 knife's anti-collision function uses position marking to prevent the specimen head from striking the blade edge. This protects both the blade and the specimen from damage during rapid adjustments.
5: Why is stepper motor drive preferred over manual feeding mechanisms in Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100?
In Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 stepper motor drive offers precise, stable, and repeatable feeding for both coarse and fine movements. It eliminates user variability and provides consistent tissue advancement. Automated feeding enhances sectioning accuracy, particularly for serial sections or quantitative work.
6: How does data accumulation help in quality control and traceability in Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100?
Cryostat Microtome FM-CMT-A100 logs sectioning/trimming thickness and frequency, allowing users to monitor usage and performance over time. This cumulative data supports quality assurance, maintenance planning, and experimental traceability. It is especially useful in regulated environments like clinical labs or GLP-compliant research.
