Overview
Labotemp Rotary Microtome ROM-01 is a full-automatic rotary microtome engineered for precise tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic and research laboratories. The ROM-01 delivers reproducible thin sections with an adjustable section thickness from 0.5 µm to 100 µm. A motorized, high-accuracy specimen feed and stable blade holder ensure consistent contact at the cutting edge for clean, artifact-minimized sections. Automated specimen retraction, programmable cutting speeds and a remote control panel streamline sample preparation and support routine workflow in medical laboratories.

Key benefits

• Uniform section thickness across 0.5–100 µm for routine and research needs
• Stable blade performance and precise alignment to reduce section artifacts
• Improved throughput with automated trimming and programmable cutting cycles
• Ergonomic, motorized operation to reduce operator fatigue and increase reproducibility

Features

• Full-automatic operation
• German stepper motor for precise, reliable and quiet drive control
• Specimen retraction for safe and easy handling
• Remote control panel for convenient operation and workflow integration
• Precise orientation and rotation of the specimen clamp (360° rotation, 8° X–Y adjustment)
• Ergonomic design for smooth and stable cutting

Applications

• Routine histopathology sectioning
• Medical and diagnostic pathology laboratories
