Shandon Cryotome E Knifeholder

Shandon Cryotome E Knifeholder

The Shandon Cryotome E Knifeholder is a blade and knife-holding component associated with the Shandon Cryotome E cryostat microtome platform. Knifeholder assemblies secure the cutting tool used by a microtome while maintaining the required relationship between the blade or knife and the specimen during sectioning. Thermo Fisher’s Cryotome documentation lists dedicated knife-holder accessories for the Cryotome family, including solid and disposable-blade configurations.

For histology laboratories, the knifeholder is a functional part of the sectioning mechanism rather than a standalone instrument. Correct holder selection affects how the cutting edge is retained and positioned within the cryostat. The supplied product is specifically identified as a Cryotome E knifeholder, so compatibility should be confirmed against the exact instrument version and holder style before use.

Applications

This component is relevant to histology laboratories, pathology workflows, research laboratories, and facilities using Cryotome equipment for frozen-section preparation.

Buyers replacing a holder should compare the existing assembly and instrument documentation to ensure the required knife or disposable-blade configuration is supported.
