Microtomy is a procedure/technique used for cutting bones, tissues, and biological specimens into thin slices and sections, for microscopic examination. The procedure can be conducted using microtomes. These microtomes are used in traditional histology technique, cryosectioning technique, electron microscopy technique, and botanical microtomy technique. There are various types of microtomes such as rotary microtome, sledge microtome, cryomicrotome, ultramicrotome, vibrating microtome, saw microtome, saw microtome, and others in the market. Among these, rotary microtomes are most commonly used instrument in histology laboratory. Microtomes are used in various clinical, research, and industrial applications to obtain sample section sized less than 50nm.
Market Dynamics
Manufacturers in diagnostics industry are focusing on development of technologically advanced equipment and systems for microtomy procedures. Thus, introduction of such advanced products in the market is expected to drive growth of the microtomes market over the forecast period. For instance, in November 2014, Sakura Finetek launched Tissue-Tek AutoSection Automated Microtome, an advanced total laboratory automation solution for histopathology laboratories.
Moreover, advantages and benefits offered by microtomes over the conventional sample/section cutting techniques is expected to drive growth of the microtomes market. In conventional sample/section cutting techniques, samples are prepared manually by using knives and razors. It is very difficult to obtain a thin slice/section required for the microscopic examination. The preparation of a sample with thickness of up to 10 nm, which is suitable for the microscopic examination, becomes easier and effective with an introduction of microtomes in histopathology practices. Thus, various clinical research organizations and diagnostic laboratories are adopting microtomy techniques, thereby increasing demand for microtomes.
