Cryostat Microtome Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-CM-2336
Jlab Export is a leading Cryostat Microtome Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Cryostat Microtome (code EL-CM-2336) is a section-cutting machine for quick frozen sections of biological, veterinary and medical research specimens. A brass and stainless steel microtome sits inside a stainless steel cold chamber with an observation window, cooled by a hermetically sealed compressor, and specimens freeze on its built-in rapid freeze stage. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with JLab Freezing Microtomes?
| Model | How the specimen is frozen | Feed (as listed) | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This cryostat (EL-CM-2336) | Built-in rapid freeze stage inside a compressor-cooled stainless steel chamber | 0–40 microns in 2-micron steps | Brass and stainless steel microtome; observation window; razor, object holders, honing stone, low-temperature oil can and dust cover supplied |
| Freezing Microtome | Carbon dioxide freezing attachment on a 35 mm stage; open bench | 5–40 microns in 5-micron steps | Table clamp; gas cylinder not included |
| Freezing Microtome (second listing) | Carbon dioxide freezing attachment on a 35 mm stage | 5–40 microns in 5-micron steps | Table clamp; also described for industrial materials such as textiles, paper and rubber |
Choose the cryostat when frozen sections are routine work: the whole microtome stays cold inside the chamber, so no gas cylinder is needed and the feed moves in finer 2-micron steps. A CO2 freezing microtome suits occasional frozen sections on an ordinary bench but depends on a local gas supply.
What Is the Cryostat Microtome Used For?
A cryostat cuts sections from tissue that has been frozen rather than embedded in paraffin wax. Because the specimen skips the dehydrating solvents and hot wax of paraffin processing, fats, many enzymes and many antigens are kept, so frozen sections are used for fat stains, enzyme histochemistry and immunofluorescence work, and they can be prepared far more quickly than wax sections. Keeping the microtome, the razor and the cut sections inside a refrigerated chamber stops the frozen block from softening while it is being sectioned. The instrument suits histology, veterinary and life-science research and teaching laboratories in universities and institutes.
Mount the specimen on the rapid freeze stage, let it freeze solid, then clamp it in an object holder and set the feed. Wear insulated gloves when working inside the chamber to avoid cold burns, keep the razor guarded whenever hands are near it, and pick the sections up on slides inside the chamber. Use the low-temperature oil can supplied for the mechanism, keep the razor edge on the honing stone, and fit the dust cover when the cryostat is not in use.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Mains supply — the listing does not state the voltage, so give your supply voltage and frequency.
- Operating temperature — tell JLab the chamber temperature your work requires so it can be confirmed in the quotation.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.
- Spare razors and object holders — one razor and one set of three object holders come with each cryostat; extra razors, strops and holders are separate items.
Frequently Asked Questions
What feed range does the Cryostat Microtome have?
The feed is listed as 0–40 microns, set in steps of 2 microns.
What is the cryostat made of?
The microtome is made of brass and stainless steel and is housed in a stainless steel cold chamber with an observation glass window. Cooling comes from a hermetically sealed compressor unit.
Which accessories are supplied?
A 120 mm razor with back and handle, a set of three object holders, a honing stone, an oil can for low-temperature use and a dust cover.
What chamber temperature does it reach?
The temperature figure in the listing is not clear, so state the chamber temperature you need in your enquiry and ask JLab to confirm it before you order.
How does it differ from a carbon dioxide freezing microtome?
The cryostat is cooled by its own compressor and keeps the whole microtome in a cold chamber, with a 0–40 micron feed in 2-micron steps. JLab’s freezing microtomes freeze the specimen with carbon dioxide gas on an open stage and cut 5–40 microns in 5-micron steps.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, the mains supply at the site, packing or labelling needs and any tender reference.
Who manufactures the Cryostat Microtome?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India; JLab quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a laboratory instrument manufacturer in India incorporated in 2017, with premises on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The cryostat is built in JLab’s own works rather than bought in from a trader, so universities, research institutes, dealers and importers order it factory-direct; each unit is visually inspected before dispatch, and razors, holders and repeat orders are supplied by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Hong Kong in East Asia, Luxembourg in Western Europe, Libya in North Africa, Botswana in Southern Africa and Vanuatu in Oceania. Institutions purchasing by tender can see the JLab lab tenders page.
