Description

Rotary Microtome

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Precision Sectioning of Paraffin-Embedded Tissues
  • Primary Use: A rotary microtome is the standard instrument for cutting thin sections (typically 2-10 microns) from paraffin-embedded tissue blocks for histopathological examination. The rotary action provides consistent, smooth sectioning essential for accurate microscopic diagnosis.
  • How it helps: For the histotechnologist and pathologist, the rotary microtome delivers the high-quality sections needed for accurate diagnosis—providing consistent thickness, smooth ribbon formation, and excellent preservation of tissue morphology. For the patient, high-quality sections ensure that the pathologist can make an accurate diagnosis from the tissue sample, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
2. Manual and Semi-Automatic Sectioning
  • Primary Use: Features a handwheel-driven rotary mechanism that advances the specimen toward the blade with each rotation. Some models offer motorized specimen advance for consistent section thickness, while manual models provide tactile feedback for experienced technicians.
  • How it helps: For the histotechnologist, rotary microtomes offer precision control over section thickness and cutting speed—allowing optimization for different tissue types and embedding media. For the laboratory, versatility in sectioning options accommodates varying skill levels and workflow requirements.
3. Sectioning for Routine Histology and Special Stains
  • Primary Use: Used for cutting sections for routine hematoxylin and eosin staining as well as for special stains, immunohistochemistry, and in situ hybridization. The consistent section quality is essential for reliable staining and interpretation.
  • How it helps: For the pathologist, consistent, high-quality sections ensure that special stains and immunohistochemistry produce reliable results—supporting accurate diagnosis of complex cases. For the patient, this means that ancillary testing yields reliable results that guide treatment.
4. Sectioning for Frozen Section Backup
  • Primary Use: In some laboratories, rotary microtomes are used as backup for frozen section cryostats or for cutting sections from fixed tissues that have not been paraffin-embedded.
  • How it helps: For the pathology laboratory, a rotary microtome provides redundancy for frozen section capabilities and flexibility for processing non-standard specimens. For the patient, this ensures that diagnostic services remain available even when specialized equipment is unavailable.
5. Durable Construction for High-Volume Use
  • Primary Use: Built with precision-machined components for durability and consistent performance under high-volume use. The robust construction withstands the demands of busy histology laboratories processing hundreds of blocks daily.
  • How it helps: For the laboratory manager, durable construction ensures reliable performance and minimal downtime—reducing maintenance costs and ensuring consistent workflow. For the patient, this means timely processing of biopsy specimens without delays due to equipment failure.

Anti-Streptol Olysin O Titer (ASOT)

$24.23
Anti-Streptol Olysin O Titer (ASOT) is a quantitative or semi-quantitative serological test (latex agglutination, turbidimetry, nephelometry, or ELISA) for detecting antibodies against streptolysin O, an exotoxin produced by Group A Streptococcus. Elevated or rising titers indicate recent streptococcal infection and are essential for diagnosing post-streptococcal sequelae including acute rheumatic fever (Jones criteria) and post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. The test requires serum samples; acute and convalescent (2-4 weeks apart) with fourfold rise confirms recent infection. Reference range typically <200-250 Todd units/mL (adults), varies by age and population. Primary clinical applications include diagnosis of Group A streptococcal infections, acute rheumatic fever evaluation, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis diagnosis, differentiation of acute vs. past infection, evaluation of unexplained arthritis or carditis, pediatric inflammatory conditions (PANDAS), and monitoring disease activity in rheumatic fever. Critical safety precautions include proper timing of acute and convalescent samples, awareness of false negatives/positives, clinical correlation for diagnosis, and standard biohazard precautions. Essential test for rheumatology, nephrology, cardiology, and infectious disease practice.
