Freezing Microtome
Product Code : JA-ELA-5488
The Freezing Microtome (SKU JA-ELA-5488) is a sectioning instrument made by JaincoLab for cutting thin to semi-thin sections of fresh tissue frozen with a carbon dioxide freezing attachment. The same method cuts semi-thin sections from industrial materials such as textiles, paper, leather, soft plastics, rubber, powders, pastes and food products. A table clamp fixes it to the edge of any standard laboratory table.

Materials sectioned
Freezing with carbon dioxide makes the material firm enough to cut without paraffin embedding, so fresh tissue can be sectioned quickly, and fats and enzymes that paraffin processing removes are kept in the section.
- Fresh frozen biological tissue in histology and botany practicals
- Textiles, paper and leather
- Soft plastics and rubber
- Powders, pastes and food products
