About Sledge Microtome

Sledge Microtome ETMT-172B

These are designed for cutting large blocks of paraffin and resin embedded material including whole organs, for light microscopy. The knife holding clamps allow the knife to be offset to the direction of cut, a major advantage when sectioning large, hard blocks. The microtome, which is very heavy for stability and not usually subject to vibration, can also be used to cut materials from various industrial applications (wood, plastics, textile fibers).

Technical Features:-

Length of sliding track : 27 cms
Total feed excursion : 25 mm
Object stage opening : 31X26 mm

Accessories supplied with Equipment:-

Razor-120 mm-on
Object holders-set of three
Oilcan-one
Packed in card board box

Precision Sectioning for Reliable Results

Engineered to deliver high-quality thin sections, the Sledge Microtome is fundamental in sample preparation for histological and pathological examinations. Its precision micrometer feed enables fine adjustments, ensuring repeatable accuracy and uniformity in every slice. The universal clamp accommodates diverse specimen blocks, making it suitable for various research and diagnostic applications.

Designed for Laboratory Efficiency and Safety

Constructed from stainless steel and cast iron, this microtome offers long-lasting durability. The powder-coated finish protects against corrosion, supporting years of intensive laboratory use. Built-in safety features like the locked blade guard and slip-resistant knob prioritize user protection during operation. Its easy cleaning protocols and included accessories add to a seamless laboratory workflow.

FAQs of Sledge Microtome:

Q: How do I use the Sledge Microtome to prepare thin biological specimen sections?

A: To operate the Sledge Microtome, securely clamp your specimen block (up to 60 mm) using the universal holder. Adjust the section thickness using the precision micrometer feed, then use the hand-operated mechanism to advance the sample towards the replaceable steel blade, producing uniform sections up to 60 m thick. Always follow the safety instructions provided in the manual.

Q: What maintenance steps are required to keep the microtome in optimal condition?

A: Maintenance is straightforward. Clean the surfaces after each use to remove debris and biological residue. Periodically inspect and replace blades as needed, and keep the universal clamp and moving parts free from dust. Use the provided dust cover for storage and refer to the operating manual for detailed cleaning procedures.

Q: When should the steel cutting blade be replaced, and are spare blades included?

A: Replace the steel cutting blade when you notice reduced cutting efficiency or if the blade becomes nicked. A spare blade is included with the microtome, and replacements can be easily acquired from the supplier or manufacturer.

Q: Where is this Sledge Microtome manufactured and who are the intended users?

A: This microtome is manufactured and supplied in India, intended for use in laboratories such as histology, pathology, and research settings where precise sectioning of biological specimens is required.

Q: What benefits does the heavy cast iron base provide during operation?

A: The heavy cast iron base offers stability and absorbs vibrations, ensuring smooth and precise cutting. This design reduces the risk of movement during operation, contributing to consistent and reliable specimen sections.

Q: How does the slip-resistant knob and locked blade guard enhance user safety?

A: The slip-resistant knob ensures a secure grip while advancing the specimen, minimizing accidental slips. The locked blade guard covers the blade when not in use, protecting users from accidental cuts or injuries during setup and cleaning.
