HistoDream Microtomes
Automated & Semi-automated Microtomes
The sectioning phase of histological tissues is a pivotal step for H&E, IHC and molecular techniques. This process requires an advanced tool to ensure high-quality sections, allow for safe and ergonomic operations for the technician and provide an efficient workflow. The Milestone microtome line has been built to address all these challenges through rotary microtomes designed around your needs. The HistoDream M, semi-automated, and HistoDream AM, fully automated, offer a rugged and reliable approach to sectioning.
The HistoDream automated and semi-automated microtomes offer unique tracking capabilities. During cutting, the histotechs have access to all the information collected during the grossing step. Simply by scanning the cassette, the operator will be able to retrieve the digitized images taken during grossing in order to compare with the embedded cassette, thus addressing potential mismatched numbers, sizes, or types of specimens and ensuring the chain of custody
