Global Microtomes Market- Driver

Advantages offered by microtomes in histopathology practices

Advantages offered by microtomes in histopathology practices is expected to drive the microtomes market growth. Microtomes are used in clinical and diagnostics research laboratories, and industrial labs to obtain routine paraffin sections and plastic embedded specimen, high quality sections with less fatigue, and to maintain the safety, reliability, and consistency of results. This has provided a robust opportunity for the manufacturers to develop innovative microtomes with advanced technologies. For instance,in June 2020, Kalstein France Laboratory equipment Manufacture and supplier in Paris, France launched microtome device with the advantages By more weight, it has more precision, it allows obtaining very thin serrated sections and The advance mechanism is more accurate.

increasing funding by key players for development of microtomes

increasing funding by key players for development of microtomes is expected to drive the microtomes market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in October 2022, Aquaro Histology, Inc., provides solutions that improve workflow efficiency, quality, and consistency in the histology lab in U.S. completed a Series A funding round of US$ 9.8 million led by Telegraph Hill Partners. This funding enabled Aquaro Histology Inc. to launch its Aquaro ASM (Automated Section Mounting). The new system facilitates hands-free microtomy in histology laboratories by transferring paraffin-embedded sections from the blade to slides. This system interfaces with existing motorized microtomes.

High cost of microtomes

High cost of microtomes are expected to hinder the market growth. For instance, Leica Biosystems, a medical devices company in Germany, introduced Leica microtome is use for creating thin sections of specimens for use in routine and research laboratories in the fields of biology. Fully Automated Leica RM2255 rotary microtome ranges between US$ 6,900 to US$ 9,800, which is very expensive for emerging economies in the regions such as Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.
