TY - JOUR AU - Sereda, G. AB - V. A. Terletskii and G. S. Sereda UDC 615.471 : 57 : 086.12/.13 The Moscow "Tekhnolog" Experimental Plant has developed and isproducing the MK-25 microtome- cryostat (see Fig. 1) for obtaining sections of freshly frozen tissue for rapid diagnosis and for researches related to the study of enzyme, antigen, and other protein systems. The development of the apparatus and its introduction into medical practice have made it possible to investigate the. entire spectrum of new enzymes in tissues and to prepare material for further study rapid- ly, without intermediate operations. The range of low-temperature regulation in the apparatus eliminates disintegration of tissue struc- tures and prevents diffusion, inactivation, and destruction of enzymes, which permits an accurate determi- nation of the topography of the latter in tissues. The design of the microtome allows simultaneous sectioning of the control and experimental materi- als of equal thickness and placing of them on the same slide, which creates equal conditions for the investi~ gated and control materials, and thus promotes the obtainment of more reliable and comparable results.
