Microtome refers to an instrument that is used to cut thin sections of materials to enable their examination under a microscope. It typically utilises glass, steel, or diamond blades to produce the optimal thickness of sections. It is used as an alternative to electropolishing, and ion milling and is utilised in various applications such as spectroscopy and histology.
The development of microtomes with liquid-emitted displays (LED) that can surge the contrast between paraffin and specimens without warming the block is aiding the microtome market growth. As advanced microtomes can enable professionals to locate the tissue effectively, their demand is increasing. Moreover, various microtomes can prevent the cutting through a previously sectioned block and a small biopsy by effectively locating tissues which is also projected to support the market growth in the coming years. The integration of features, such as brake indicators, sliding dispense, and blade guards, among others, to reduce the risk of accidental injuries is also projected to invigorate the market growth.
Innovations in the design; emphasis on safety and ergonomics; growth in digital pathology; expansion of cryosectioning; and integration of advanced technologies are the major trends impacting the microtome market expansion
August 26th, 2022
Clarapath Inc, a US-based biotechnology company, announced the launch of an instrument called the SectionStar to automate the microtome process in pathology.
August 10th, 2023
The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) announced a significant upgrade to its Pathology Department through the procurement of a cutting-edge microtome machine and a sophisticated auto tissue processor.
November 8th, 2021
MIECO announced the launch of a new handheld microtome, the QCSMS, designed to facilitate rapid and effortless cross-sectioning of various materials using any sharp razor blade.
Innovations in the design
Innovations in the designs of microtomes to enhance their productivity and efficiency are expected to contribute to the growth of the microtome market significantly.
Emphasis on safety and ergonomics
With the rising awareness of workplace safety, there is a trend towards designing microtomes that are ergonomically friendly and include safety features like blade guards.
Growth in digital pathology
The expansion of digital pathology and whole slide imaging (WSI) technologies fuels the need for microtomes that can provide high-quality sections suitable for digital scanning.
Expansion of cryosectioning
Cryomicrotomes (cryostats) are seeing increased use not only in traditional research settings but also in clinical diagnostics, particularly for rapid intraoperative tissue analysis.
Integration of advanced technologies
Microtomes are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies such as touchscreen controls, programmable sectioning parameters, and automated specimen advances.
The integration of advanced technologies into microtomes represents a significant shift towards enhancing precision, efficiency, and user-friendliness in the preparation of tissue sections for microscopic examination. For instance, the incorporation of touchscreen interfaces on microtomes makes the devices more intuitive and easier to use as the operators can quickly adjust settings, select sectioning parameters, and monitor the status of the device through a graphical interface. Moreover, programmable sectioning parameters allow users to preset specific parameters for sectioning, including the thickness of each cut, the speed of the blade, and the number of sections needed.
The growing deployment of microtome machines in various end-use sectors is expected to aid the microtome market development, The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) made an announcement in August 2023 about acquiring a state-of-the-art microtome machine and an advanced auto tissue processor marks a significant improvement in its Pathology Department's capabilities. The procurement of these advanced tools equips the Pathology Department to handle more complex and challenging cases.

“Microtome Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Product
Market Breakup by Technology
Market Breakup by Region
Microtome devices account for a major share due to their growing usage in microscopy applications
Microtome devices hold a large market share as these devices are crucial in laboratories for preparing samples by cutting extremely thin slices of material, known as sections. These devices are essential for microscopy applications, allowing researchers and healthcare professionals to examine tissues at the cellular level to diagnose diseases, conduct research, and develop treatments. The demand for high precision and quality in sample preparation drives the need for advanced microtome devices, contributing to their dominant market share. The diversity of microtomes, including rotary, cryostat, and vibratome microtomes, tailored to specific types of tissue processing and applications, also supports the significant market presence of this segment.
The accessories segment is anticipated to witness robust growth in the microtome market in the forecast period. Accessories for microtomes include blades, holders, cassettes, and other consumables and maintenance tools required for the operation and upkeep of microtome devices. The recurring need for accessories due to wear and tear and the consumable nature of items like blades ensure a steady demand of this segment.
Fully automated microtomes maintain their dominance in the market as they can perform repetitive and tedious tasks and save time
Fully automated microtomes occupy a substantial share of the microtome market as they can eliminate the requirement for manual labour for repetitive and monotonous tasks. Moreover, they can aid in producing reliable results, thus, boosting time and cost efficiency while enabling more recuts and blocks which, in turn, is further surging the demand for a microtome. These devices also reduce the manual effort required for slicing, making them user-friendly and reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries. Automation speeds up the preparation process, making it easier to handle a high volume of samples, which is particularly beneficial in busy clinical and research laboratories.
The semi-automated segment is expected to witness sizeable growth in the coming years. Semi-automated microtomes allow users to adjust the cutting process manually when needed, providing flexibility for handling various types of specimens. These devices are also generally less expensive than fully automated ones, making them a more accessible option for smaller laboratories or those with budget constraints.
The market players are entering into partnerships and collaborations with other companies, academic institutions, and research organisations to gain a competitive edge in the microtome market
LLS ROWIAK LaserLabSolutions GmbH specialises in developing and manufacturing laser-based systems for scientific and medical applications and is known for its innovative approaches to tissue processing, microscopy, and precision cutting solutions.

The demand for microtomes in North America is influenced by several factors that reflect the region's advanced healthcare infrastructure, and robust research and development ecosystem. North America, particularly the United States and Canada, has a highly developed healthcare system with a significant focus on diagnostic services, pathology, and medical research. The need for precise and reliable tissue sectioning in diagnostic procedures drives the demand for high-quality microtomes. The region is also a global leader in biomedical research, including drug development, cancer research, and regenerative medicine. Microtomes are essential tools in histology labs where tissues are studied at the microscopic level to understand disease mechanisms and test new treatments.
The microtome market in the Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow significantly over the coming years due to the increasing number of laboratories in developing countries owing to the introduction of various favourable initiatives. For instance, the Kerala government in India launched a mini and super fab lab, a larger version of the technical prototyping platforms for design fabrication technology, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in January 2020.
