Freezing Microtome Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-ELA-5488
Jlab Export is a leading Freezing Microtome Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Freezing Microtome (code EL-ELA-5488) is a section cutter that freezes the specimen with a carbon dioxide attachment, so fresh biological material and soft industrial samples such as textiles, paper, leather, rubber and food can be sliced directly instead of being embedded in paraffin first. It cuts sections up to 40 microns in 5-micron steps. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Microtomes?
| Model | How the specimen is held | Section details listed | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This freezing microtome (EL-ELA-5488) | Frozen on a 35 mm stage by a CO2 attachment | Up to 40 microns in 5-micron steps; total feed excursion 25 mm | Table clamp; also described for industrial samples such as textiles, paper, leather and rubber |
| Freezing Microtome (ERMA type) | Frozen on a 35 mm stage by a CO2 attachment | 5–40 microns in 5-micron steps; total feed excursion 25 mm | ERMA-type pattern; listed with razor, honing plate, oil can and cylinder spanner |
| Cryostat Microtome | Built-in rapid freeze stage inside a refrigerated stainless steel cold chamber | Up to 40 microns in steps of 2 microns | Hermetically sealed compressor; observation window |
| Hand and Table Microtome | Specimen raised on an 80 mm stage with 20 mm vertical lift | Least count 0.01 mm | Fixing clamp for a bench or table edge |
Choose this model when you need quick frozen sections from both biological specimens and soft industrial materials with a simple CO2 freezing stage. The cryostat keeps the whole microtome in a refrigerated chamber and gives finer 2-micron steps, while the hand and table microtome is listed for thin slices of plant and other soft specimens.
What Is the Freezing Microtome Used For?
Freezing hardens soft, water-rich material enough to be cut, so a section can be ready within minutes instead of after the hours of dehydration and wax infiltration that paraffin blocks need. Because the specimen never passes through alcohol and wax, frozen sections keep fats and many enzymes that paraffin processing removes, which is why they are used for fat staining and enzyme histochemistry in histology, pathology, zoology and botany teaching and research labs.
The same principle makes the instrument useful outside biology: this model is listed for semi-thin sections of textiles, paper, leather, soft plastics, rubber, powders, pastes and food products, so quality-control and materials laboratories can examine fibre structure, layers, coatings or texture under the microscope.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 microtomes.
- Razors and spares — microtome razors are separate catalogue items and can be quoted on the same enquiry.
- Other section types — add a sliding microtome for embedded blocks, a cryostat for refrigerated frozen sectioning or a hand and table microtome for plant sections.
- Destination, packing and tender reference — needed for an accurate export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What section thickness can this freezing microtome cut?
Sections up to 40 microns, adjustable in 5-micron steps across a feed range of 5 to 40 microns, with a total feed excursion of 25 mm.
What materials can be sectioned on it?
Fresh and frozen biological material, and semi-thin sections of industrial products such as some textiles, paper, leather, soft plastics, rubber, powders, pastes and food products.
How is the specimen frozen?
By a carbon dioxide freezing attachment acting on the 35 mm diameter freezing stage, which hardens the specimen so it can be cut without paraffin embedding.
How is the microtome mounted on the bench?
A table clamp is provided for fixing the microtome to the side of a standard table, which holds it steady while sections are cut.
How is it different from the ERMA-type Freezing Microtome?
Both listings give a 35 mm stage, a CO2 freezing attachment and a 5–40 micron feed in 5-micron steps. The ERMA-type model is described as that design pattern and lists its accessories; this model is described for industrial materials as well as biological specimens.
When is a freezing microtome preferred over a rotary or sliding microtome?
When speed matters or when fats and enzymes must be preserved. Rotary and sliding microtomes cut embedded blocks and give thinner, more even sections for detailed structure, but the embedding takes much longer.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling requirements, and the tender reference if the order is for a tender.
Who manufactures this freezing microtome?
JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of biology and general laboratory apparatus in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The microtome is produced in JLab’s own works and not bought in from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, each unit is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. The company is registered as a manufacturing enterprise under MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 and holds Importer-Exporter Code 3317504552. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region; for example, it can deliver to Congo in Central Africa, Zambia in East Africa, Tajikistan in Central Asia, Namibia in Southern Africa and Denmark in Northern Europe. Tender buyers can refer to the JLab lab tenders page.
