Choose the Rotary Senior Microtome when a 1–50 micron range in single-micron steps covers your work and you want a razor, object holders and an oil can to arrive with the instrument. The Digital Microtome covers the same range with a digital scale and ball-bearing slides, the Semi Automatic Microtome adds a motorised drive and a finer lower limit, and the Rotary Microtome’s listing gives no thickness range, so ask JLab before choosing it for a particular section thickness.
What Is the Rotary Senior Microtome Used For?
A microtome slices embedded tissue or plant material thin enough for light to pass through it under a microscope. In a rotary microtome each turn of the hand wheel carries the specimen block past a fixed razor and advances it by the set thickness, so consecutive slices come off one after another as serial sections — useful when a structure has to be followed through a piece of tissue. This model suits histology and anatomy teaching in college and university biology labs, zoology and botany departments, and medical and biological research labs that prepare stained sections for microscope study, alongside other biology lab equipment such as microscopes and staining sets.
In a typical workflow the processed specimen is embedded in a wax block, clamped in an object holder (the object clamps open to 37 x 27 mm), trimmed, and then cut at a setting between 1 and 50 microns. The sections are floated on warm water to flatten, picked up on glass slides, dried and stained. Keep the razor edge covered while changing blocks, brush wax shavings off the mechanism after each session, oil the moving parts with the oil can supplied, and close the hinged cover when the microtome is not in use.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 microtomes; say whether they are for a teaching lab or a research unit so the quotation can include suitable spares.
- Spare razors and object holders — one 120 mm razor and a set of three object holders come with each microtome; extra razors, strops, honing stones and wax-block moulds are separate catalogue items.
- Section-preparation equipment — add an embedding bath, a flotation bath or a tissue processor to the same enquiry if you are equipping a complete histology bench.
- Destination and delivery terms — for export, give the country, port or city and preferred terms such as FOB or CIF.
Frequently Asked Questions
What section thickness does the Rotary Senior Microtome cut?
From 1 to 50 microns, set in steps of 1 micron. The feed has a total excursion of 28 mm, which is how far the specimen can be advanced in all before the feed has to be reset.
Which accessories are supplied with it?
A 120 mm razor, a set of three object holders and an oil can. The microtome is packed in a cardboard box with thermocol packing. Embedding baths, flotation baths and extra razors are separate items and can be added to the same enquiry.
What size of specimen block will the clamps hold?
The object clamps open to 37 x 27 mm, so blocks should be trimmed to fit within that opening. For larger and harder material such as wood and bone, JLab lists a separate Wood Microtome.
How is it different from the Digital Microtome?
Both cover 1–50 microns in one-micron steps. The Digital Microtome is listed with a cam drive, a digital scale, ball-bearing slides and a disposable blade holder, while this model is listed with a hinged cover, a safety device and a 28 mm feed excursion. Ask JLab if your choice depends on another feature.
Can it be used for frozen sections?
Its listing describes serial sectioning, not freezing. For frozen material JLab lists the Freezing Microtome with a carbon dioxide freezing attachment and the Cryostat Microtome with a refrigerated cold chamber.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling instructions, and the tender reference if you are buying against a tender.
Who manufactures the Rotary Senior Microtome?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, builds it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a scientific lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The Rotary Senior Microtome is built at JLab’s own works rather than sourced from a trader, so colleges, research institutes, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct; every unit is visually inspected before it is packed, and spare razors, object holders and repeat orders are handled by the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Chad in Central Africa, Morocco in North Africa, Romania in Eastern Europe, the Philippines in Southeast Asia and Togo in West Africa. Institutions buying through a tender will find details on the JLab lab tenders page.
Microtomy Accessories and Section Preparation Equipment
- Microtome Accessories — razors with back and handle, a leather strop, honing stone and honing plate, L-moulds for wax blocks and a stainless steel mesh tissue cassette.
- Microtome Object Holder — spare object holders for rotary microtomes, listed as a set of three.
- Paraffin Embedding Bath — a thermostat-controlled bath with covered wax pots for embedding specimens before sectioning.
- Tissue Flotation Bath — floats wax sections so they flatten before they are picked up for staining.
- Automatic Tissue Processor — takes tissue from fixation and dehydration through to paraffin wax saturation.
