Choose the Digital Microtome when you want a digital scale and the fullest accessory kit in this group — both a steel razor with honing stone and a disposable blade holder. The Rotary Senior Microtome covers the same 1–50 micron range with a shorter accessory list, while the fully automatic and semi-automatic models suit labs that want a powered drive and a wider thickness range.
What Is the Digital Microtome Used For?
A microtome cuts embedded specimens into slices thin enough to stain and examine under a microscope. On this model the operator sets the thickness on the feed indicator with the knurled knob at the back, and the cam drive then advances the object by the set amount for each section, between 1 and 50 microns. Sections for routine light microscopy of paraffin-embedded animal and plant tissue fall in this range, which makes the instrument useful for histology, botany and zoology teaching in colleges and universities and for research labs that prepare stained slides.
The universal vice-type object holder centres the block in front of the knife, and because the knife holder moves sideways, a fresh part of the edge can be brought into use when one part becomes dull. The steel razor can be kept sharp with the honing stone supplied, or the disposable blade holder can be fitted instead. Swing the protective cover open to clean away wax and to oil the mechanism with the oil can, and keep the dust cover on the microtome between sessions.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 microtomes.
- Spare blades and razors — five disposable blades come with the holder; ask for spare blade packs or extra razors to be quoted with the order.
- Extra object holders — one set of three comes with the microtome; more are listed separately.
- Section-preparation equipment — add an embedding bath, a flotation bath or a tissue processor to the same enquiry when equipping a full histology bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
What section thickness can the Digital Microtome cut?
The feed is set from 1 to 50 microns in one-micron steps by a cam drive system, and the instrument is designed for sectioning tissue down to 1 micron. The feed indicator in front is graduated in microns.
Which accessories come with it?
A 120 mm razor with back and handle in a box, a universal vice, an oil can, a universal razor holder, a honing stone in a box, a dust cover, a set of three object holders, a disposable blade holder with 5 disposable blades, and an illustrated operating manual.
Can it be used with disposable blades?
Yes. A disposable blade holder with 5 disposable blades is supplied alongside the steel razor, so either cutting edge can be used.
What is the knife made of?
The razor supplied is made from imported fine-grain steel, tested for micro-structure and heat treated for rigidity and sharpness. The honing stone supplied is used to maintain its edge.
How does it differ from the Rotary Senior Microtome?
Both are listed for 1–50 microns in one-micron steps. The Digital Microtome adds a cam drive, digital scale, ball-bearing slides, a cast iron base and a larger accessory kit including a disposable blade holder; the Rotary Senior Microtome is listed with a hinged cover, a safety device, a razor, object holders and an oil can.
What safety features are listed?
The independent feed mechanism has an automatic safety device, and the interior mechanism sits under a full-swing protective cover. As with any microtome, keep the knife guarded and the drive still while changing specimens.
What should be included in an export enquiry?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling instructions, any spare blades or object holders, and the tender reference if one applies.
Who manufactures the Digital Microtome?
JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — manufactures it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a biology and general laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The Digital Microtome is assembled at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so universities, colleges, research laboratories, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker; each microtome is visually inspected before dispatch, and spare blades, razors and repeat orders come from the same source. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Belize in Central America and the Caribbean, Taiwan in East Asia, Brunei in Southeast Asia, DR Congo in Central Africa and Lesotho in Southern Africa. Details for tender purchases are on the JLab lab tenders page.
Accessories and Histology Equipment
- Microtome Accessories — extra razors with back and handle, a leather strop, honing stone and plate, L-moulds for wax blocks and a stainless steel tissue cassette.
- Microtome Object Holder — spare object holders for rotary microtomes, listed as a set of three.
- Paraffin Embedding Bath — thermostat-controlled bath with covered wax pots for embedding.
- Tissue Flotation Bath — flattens wax sections on warm water before staining.
- Automatic Tissue Processor — fixation and dehydration through to paraffin wax saturation.
