Leica CM3600 – Cryomacrotome
Prior to any work involving the knife, microtome or inside the
cryochamber, swing the knee lever upwards.
For any work involving the knife, microtome or inside the
cryochamber always wear special protective gloves.
For reasons of safety and accuracy, the maximum trimming
thickness should not exceed 100 μm per section.
When trimming biological material (particularly bone), sec-
tion thickness should not exceed 50 μm.
Never try to catch or grab a knife.
Never introduce your hands into the space between specimen
and knife.
Radioactive specimen waste must be disposed of according to
the local radiation safety regulations.
For removing the microtome (approx. 190 kgs) from the
cryochamber, a ceiling crane capable of carrying that weight
should be available.
For safety reasons, we strongly advise you against lifting the
microtome (190 kgs) from the cryochamber without appropri-
ate lifting gear. Do not attempt to lift the microtome from the
chamber manually, even if several persons are there to help.
