What Is a Cryostat Microtome?
A cryostat microtome is a microtome housed inside a refrigerated chamber, so frozen tissue stays hard while it is cut. This range holds one model, the Cryostat Microtome. Its brass and stainless steel microtome sits in a stainless steel cold chamber with a viewing window, cooled by a sealed compressor. Specimens freeze on a built-in rapid freeze stage and are cut from 0 to 40 microns in 2-micron steps. Biology, veterinary and medical research labs use it. JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd), Ambala, India, makes it.

| Supplied with | 120 mm razor with back and handle, object holders (set of three), honing stone, low-temperature oil can, dust cover |
How to Choose Between a Cryostat and a Freezing Microtome
- Routine frozen sections: the Cryostat Microtome keeps the microtome, razor and cut sections cold in one chamber, so blocks do not soften between strokes.
- Gas supply: the cryostat cools itself with a compressor; the Freezing Microtome needs a carbon dioxide cylinder bought locally.
- Feed steps: the cryostat feeds in 2-micron steps up to 40 microns, while the freezing microtome moves in 5-micron steps from 5 to 40 microns.
- Wax sections instead: when fats and enzymes need not be kept, paraffin blocks cut on the Rotary Senior Microtome give finer detail.
Tasks Covered by the Cryostat Microtome
| Task | Apparatus |
|---|---|
| Freezing fresh tissue on the rapid freeze stage and cutting frozen sections | Cryostat Microtome |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do frozen sections crack or shatter as they are cut?
The block is usually too cold for that tissue. Let the specimen warm a few degrees and try again. Fatty tissue needs a colder block than most soft organs, so one chamber setting does not suit every specimen.
Why do sections smear, stick to the razor or roll up?
This points to a block or razor that is too warm, or a dull edge. Let the chamber cool further, keep the razor inside the chamber so it stays cold, and move to a clean, sharp part of the edge.
How can frost and ice inside the chamber be kept down?
Moist room air brings frost in. Keep the window closed when not cutting, avoid breathing into the chamber, brush out shavings, and defrost and dry the chamber regularly so ice does not build up on the microtome.
What holds the specimen on the freeze stage?
The tissue is set on an object holder in a few drops of water or a water-soluble embedding medium, then frozen on the rapid freeze stage. The medium surrounds the tissue and freezes into a firm block that the holder grips.
Why is a low-temperature oil can supplied?
Ordinary oil thickens in the cold and makes the feed stiff. The low-temperature oil supplied keeps the moving parts of the microtome running freely inside the chamber.
