Rotary Microtome Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-BE-4453
Jlab Export is a leading Rotary Microtome Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Rotary Microtome (code EL-BE-4453) is a bench microtome for cutting thin, evenly spaced sections of embedded specimens in college, university and research histology and plant anatomy labs. Each full turn of its drive wheel advances the object holder through a ratchet, cone and inclined-plane feed, and a hinged cover on the heavy base protects the mechanism and knife holder. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with JLab Hand Microtomes?
| Model | How the specimen is fed | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|
| This rotary microtome (EL-BE-4453) | Drive wheel and ratchet advance the object holder every revolution; safety device disengages the feed | Heavy base; hinged cover over mechanism and knife holder; feed indicator in front |
| Hand and Table Microtome | Hand feed with 0.01 mm least count and 20 mm vertical lift | 80 mm diameter stage; clamps to the bench edge |
| Hand Microtome External Milled Knob | Milled knob against a scale of 50 divisions of 10 microns | Minimum cut 10 microns; complete in case |
| Hand Microtome | Steps of 10 microns | Portable; plano-concave razor and table clamp in a storing box |
The hand microtomes are the simpler choice for student section cutting of fresh plant material. Choose the rotary microtome when the lab needs a mechanically fed, bench-standing instrument for repeated sections of embedded tissue, where the automatic advance gives one consistent step per turn.
What Is the Rotary Microtome Used For?
In a rotary microtome the specimen block moves up and down past a fixed knife as the drive wheel turns, and the feed advances it by the set amount on every stroke. This makes it the standard instrument for cutting paraffin-wax embedded tissue: successive sections join edge to edge into a ribbon that can be floated on warm water and picked up on slides as serial sections. Zoology and botany departments use it for histology and plant anatomy teaching, and biology research labs use it to prepare tissue sections for staining and microscopy.
Set the section thickness at the back, check the feed indicator at the front, and turn the wheel at a steady speed for an even ribbon. Hold the drive wheel still and keep the knife edge covered whenever you change the block or clean the instrument, brush wax shavings away after each session, and keep the hinged cover closed when the microtome is not in use.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.
- Knife and accessories — state the knife or razor and any spare object holders you need, and ask JLab to confirm what is supplied with the microtome.
- Section range — tell JLab the section thicknesses your work requires so the setting range can be confirmed in the quotation.
- Embedding equipment — add a paraffin embedding bath if you are setting up a complete sectioning bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the feed mechanism work?
Each complete revolution of the drive wheel makes the feed engage the teeth of a ratchet wheel, which advances the object holder through a cone and inclined-plane mechanism, so the specimen moves forward by the set amount every turn.
What does the safety device do?
It automatically disengages the feed mechanism. Ask JLab for details of when it acts on this model.
What section thickness range does it cover?
The range is not stated in this listing. Send your required thicknesses with your enquiry and JLab will confirm them in the quotation.
Is a microtome knife included?
The listing describes a knife holder protected by the hinged cover but does not list a knife. Specify the knife or razor you need so it can be quoted.
What should an export quotation request include?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling requirements and any tender reference.
Who manufactures this rotary microtome?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes 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 laboratory instrument and biology equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The rotary microtome is built in JLab’s own works instead of being bought from a trader, so colleges, universities, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct; each instrument is visually inspected before dispatch and repeat orders and spares are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to every region — Sweden in Northern Europe, Bhutan in South Asia, Hungary in Eastern Europe, Tajikistan in Central Asia and Greece in Southern Europe are examples. Tender buyers can refer to the JLab lab tenders page.
