According to FutureWise analysis the market for Microtome in 2023 is US$ 0.45 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 0.76 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 6.82%.
A microtome is a sample preparation equipment used in laboratories. Microtomes are used to cut thin slices of a sample, which are then processed for observation under microscopes. Before microtomes, samples were manually prepared with blades and razors. The manual method limits the thickness of the slices. Microtomes have enabled the preparation of samples with thicknesses of up to 10 nano microns. Such a sample can be studied using an electron microscope. The body, the knife and its attachment, and the material- or tissue holder are the three essential components of a modern microtome. Knives can be swapped out. They can be made of various materials, including steel, glass, or diamond. The knife (microtome knife) is a key component in microtomy techniques. During normal microtomies, a wedge (C type) knife is typically utilized to cut the sample piece.
Some commonly used microtomes are the cryostat, ultramicrotome, sled, revolving, vibrating, and hand-held microtome. Microtomes also provide a variety of cutting modes, such as single, interval, multi, and continuous high throughput serial sectioning. They frequently support cytological, histological, and pathological studies and the accurate diagnosis of chronic disorders. The development of microscope-based diagnostic tools has increased the demand for more precise sample preparation tools like ultra-microtomes, also referred to as ultratomes. Consolidating diagnostic laboratories has increased the need for automation and high throughput technology. Additionally, microtomes are used in pharmaceutical and life sciences research and development. In addition to therapeutic contexts, microtomes are used in environmental sciences and agriculture.
