AELAB Semi Automatic Rotary Microtome YD-335A – Precision Tissue Sectioning

Overview

The Semi-Automatic Rotary Microtome YD-335A, featuring a touch screen panel, is designed for precise and efficient slicing of tissue samples. It combines manual operation with automated features, allowing for accurate sectioning with ease. This microtome is suited for use in laboratories where reliable and consistent preparation of tissue sections is essential for analysis.

Feature

• Touch Screen Panel
• Adopted Germany stepper motor ensure section more precisely ,more reliable and quiet.
• The touch screen panel shows section and trimming thickness ,section counter ,distance stroke of Clamp, easy to do adjustment of Trimming or Section thickness in the touch screen panel
• Special function of specimen retraction which avoid the damage due to the attrition between sample and the back of knife so that the sectioning is more smooth and the life of the knife is more longer .
• The hand wheel can be locked in any position to ensure the sectioning as safe and convenient as possible
• Optional Blade carrier which can use Steel Knife or Blade Holder
• Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
• The waste tray can be disassembled easily
• Sample orientation:8°along the X-Y-axis, rotate 360°
• Safety alarm system, overload protection function, sleep mode protection
• The special blade carrier can use high profile blade or low profile blade
• Blade carrier have angle adjustment
• Protection guard
• System of balance of hand wheel force: a special system to adjust the balancing force during the section, making the rotation easier and smoother

🔬 How It Works?

The YD-335A utilizes a semi-automatic rotary mechanism powered by a German stepper motor to deliver smooth and precise tissue slicing. The touch screen interface allows operators to easily set sectioning and trimming thickness, monitor section counts, and adjust specimen clamp strokes. Its specimen retraction system prevents damage caused by blade-sample friction, ensuring long knife life and consistent high-quality sections.
