Microtomy is a technique for preparing thin sections of materials such as bones, minerals, and teeth that is an alternative to ion milling and electropolishing. Microtome sections can be produced thin enough to section a human hair across its breadth. For cutting frozen samples, a cryostat microtome is used. The hardness of the sample is increased with the decrease in temperature.
A cryostat microtome, also known as a freezing microtome, is medical equipment used for obtaining the cryo-sections of plant and animal tissues into thin sections. Microtome cryostats are utilized in everyday medical, biological, and industrial applications. A microtome cryostat consists of a refrigerated cabinet containing a microtome that is typically operated at temperatures ranging from -5°C to -50°C. A microtome cryostat is made up of a sectioning device, a rotary microtome, and a blade holder or knife, and a way to freeze the samples. Manual, semi-automatic, and automatic microtomes are available in the market.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- There has been an increase in the demand for medical supplies to take care of infected population. Respiratory support devices such as atomizers, life-support machines, oxygen generators, and monitors are among the majorly used medical devices in primary clinical treatment. Moreover, COVID-19 has led to a huge surge in demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses. There is an increase in the need for medical supplies, both from healthcare professionals and civil population for precautionary measures, owing to the rise in number of COVID-19 cases worldwide. Manufacturers of these products have a chance to capitalize this increased demand for medical supplies to ensure adequate and continuous supply of personal protective equipment in the market. Therefore, COVID 19 is expected to have a significant impact on the cryostat microtome equipment market.
Top Impacting Factors
