AELAB Rotary Microtome YD-315 for Precision Histology Sectioning

Overview

The Rotary Microtome YD-315 is a high-precision instrument tailored for routine histology and various biological and industrial applications. It features durable components such as guide rails, screw mandrels, and ratchet rods sourced from Japan, ensuring stability and reliability. With adjustable section thickness, it accommodates both wax and plastic-embedded specimens, delivering consistent, reproducible results. The ergonomic design enhances user experience, while built-in safety features ensure secure operation. Ideal for laboratories aiming for accuracy and efficiency in sample preparation.

Features:

• High precision specimen feed
• Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
• The hand wheel can be locked in any position or highest position , The dual fail-safe control system is safe and reliable
• It adopt the special blade carrier , it is more safe and convenient to use the disposable blade directly . good durability and long service life, optional blade carrier can use steel knife or blade holder .
• Two type of upper part blade holder can use both of low profile blade and high profile blade
• Smoothly running hand wheel
• Spacious, integrated section waste tray
• Finger protection guard

🔬 How It Works?

The YD-315 microtome operates through a smooth rotary hand wheel that advances the specimen precisely along guide rails and screw mandrels. Users can lock the wheel at any position, ensuring maximum safety during trimming or blade changes. Its special blade carrier system allows direct use of disposable blades for clean and reliable sectioning. The section thickness can be finely adjusted, enabling reproducible cuts suitable for wax and plastic-embedded samples in both clinical and research environments.
