This competition uses a clean-cut Craftek CR-601ST semi-automatic paraffin Microtome (6 in total). These Microtomes were mobilized by Craftek from all over the country for the trial competition.

A total of 68 players from all over Hunan Province participated in the competition. The competition went very smoothly with no skipped pieces and no other conditions happened except for one contestant who didn't come over to familiarize with the machine before the competition and made a mistake in the direction of the small handwheel, which led to the wax block topping the blades. The competition, which was originally planned to take one day, was completed in half a day. Teachers who participated in the competition had high praise for the Claritec Microtome, which did not skip sections and had a light handwheel rotation.

Thanks to Fu Chunyan of Xiangya Hospital and other teachers of Hunan Pathology Technical Group for their trust in Clathay Microtome, and thanks to Pathology Equipment Branch for this platform. From last year's Shangqiu Paraffin Slicing Competition, to this year's competition in Xinjiang, Suzhou training, Shanghai competition, Shandong competition, and today's competition in Hunan, the quality of our Microtomes is getting better and better, and our experience in serving competitions is getting richer and richer. We used fibroid wax blocks to test cut each machine before the competition; we hardened 24 wobbly tables into a whole, which drastically reduced the wobbling of the tables when slicing; each machine was equipped with 3 different brushes (well, there is always one for you), two different tweezers, wax stripper, waste newspaper, cold water tray, waste wax scraper, paper towels, waste blade containers, and everything; the attentive Ms. Meiyuan Huang also put in each cold water tray, which is the most important part of the slicing machine. Ms. Huang Meiyuan also put black plastic paper on the bottom of each cold water dish so that the contestants could see the wax pieces better. After each contestant finished cutting, our engineers immediately came to check the machine and restored the machine to the default parameters.
More provinces are being approached for Craftek paraffin slice competitions.
