Automated and programmable microtomy

Building on the success and principles of SMART Automation, Sakura Finetek has introduced the next step in total laboratory automation to the histopathology laboratories with the launch of the Tissue-Tek AutoSection Automated Microtome.

The first of its kind, this fully-automated and programmable microtome aligns and trims blocks with optimal precision, section after section. AutoAlign, the core technology behind AutoSection, precisely orients blocks and dramatically reduces the risk of losing tissue. In addition, with the AutoTrim technology, blocks are ready for sectioning in only 10 seconds.

AutoSection sets the standard ensuring consistent high-quality sectioning, preservation of valuable tissue from recuts, improved efficiency and speed, and minimal repetitive motions. The Tissue-Tek x series – AutoTEC, Prisma and Film, and AutoWrite – offer a continuous efficient workflow with consistent high quality, enabling laboratories to work faster, better and more efficiently.
