Sections curl immediately upon cutting; even after unfolding, they curl again just before mounting. Repeated adjustments consume both time and precious tissue samples.

Why Does the Anti‑Roll Plate Fail to Prevent Curling?

When encountering curled, lifted or folded sections, troubleshoot sequentially from three dimensions: local temperature, sectioning speed, and section thickness.

01- Local Ambient Temperature: Adequate Low‑Temperature Conditions Are Required Even After Sectioning

02- Sectioning Speed: Slow Down Appropriately and Maintain Uniform Motion

03- Section Thickness: Set According to Slide‑Preparation Purposes

Reduce repetitive trial‑and‑error and produce more valid sections.

Temperature is a critical variable for flat sections. The Minux® FS900 features independently‑cooled blade holder adjustable from ‑10 °C to ‑35 °C, with separate temperature control from the specimen head to deliver consistent sectioning conditions.

Each tissue type has its optimal temperature setting. The FS900 enables rapid blade‑holder temperature switching within 3 minutes, eliminating long waiting times between specimen changes. Achieve adjustable, repeatable flat sections and make full use of every tissue sample.
