Fully Automatic Microtome YD-355AT | Precision Tissue Sectioning

Overview

A fully automatic microtome is an advanced laboratory instrument designed for precise sectioning of specimens, typically embedded in paraffin or resin. It features automated controls for adjusting cutting thickness, positioning, and blade alignment, allowing for consistent and reproducible tissue slices. The device typically includes a high-resolution display for user interface, a motorized mechanism for specimen advancement, and safety features to protect users during operation. Fully automatic microtomes enhance workflow efficiency in histopathology and research by minimizing manual intervention and reducing variability in section quality.

Product specifications :

• Fully automatic or manual model，Its two-in-one design concept, which allows motorized and manual sectioning, provides reproducible high-quality sections.
• Adopted Germany stepper Motor and motor drive ensure slice more precisely ,more reliable and quiet.
• The touch screen shows slice and trimming thickness ,section counter ,mode and speed, stroke distance
• Special function of specimen retraction which avoid the damage due to theattrition between sample and the back of knife so that the sectioning is more smooth and the life of the knife is more longer .
• Model of Blade Carrier for High or Lower Disposable Blades
• The hand wheel can be locked in any position to ensure the sectioning as safe and convenient as possible
• The waste tray can be disassembled easily
• Safety alarm system , overload protection function, sleep mode protection
• Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
• Optional Blade carrier which can use Steel Knife or Blade Holder
• Emergency stop
• Foot Switch to control the Section
• Easy operation with Separated Control Panel
• Protection Guard
• Remote control panel set trimming or section thickness , stroke ,cutting speed
• Precise orientation of specimen clamp

🔬 How It Works?

The YD-355AT microtome uses a motorized stepper drive system to advance specimens with micron-level accuracy. Users can choose between fully automatic or manual control, depending on workflow needs. The intuitive touch screen control panel displays section thickness, trimming values, counters, and speed settings. A specimen retraction function prevents blade attrition, extending knife life and ensuring smoother cuts. Safety is enhanced with an overload protection system, emergency stop, foot switch, and lockable handwheel.
