Description
Microtome blade holder
As the name indicates, this holder of Labtechniche is outfitted with levers for tightening both the holder and the blade.
Disposable blade holders progressively supplanted them in the past owing to sharpening issues with blades. The old disposable blade holders were used within the permanent blade holders, and its structure included two or three screws for fastening the blade inside. More cutting resulted in the filling of the screws with paraffin, as well as the necessity to open the screw to move the blade, therefore the negative consequences were directly noticed in the cuts.
The levered holders have the potential to eliminate all of these issues, resulting in highly noticeable modifications in cutting operations.
Because to the use of simple levers, it is much easier to place the blade within the Microtome blade holder and change the angle. Using the same levers, assembling and dismantling the holder has become so simple, and it can be cleaned quickly. On the other hand, because the blade may be readily moved in any direction against the block holder, a significant reduction in blade use has been noted, possibly up to 35 percent.
