Product overview
Labotemp Fully Automatic Rotary Microtome ROM-01 is a full-automatic rotary microtome designed for precise tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic, and research laboratories. This advanced microtome produces consistent thin sections with an adjustable cut thickness from 0.5 µm to 100 µm, supporting reliable serial sectioning for routine histology and microscopy. The motorized specimen feed with high-accuracy control ensures smooth operation and repeatable results during sample preparation. A stable microtome blade holder supports standard disposable microtome blades and steel knives, maintaining uniform contact at the cutting edge for clean sectioning. Automated specimen retraction, programmable cutting speeds, and remote control operation improve workflow efficiency and operator comfort. Designed for laboratories requiring dependable quality sections, the ROM-01 combines automation, precision, and stability for daily microtomy.
