Product overview
Labotemp Lab ROM-02 is a fully automatic rotary microtome engineered for precise tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic and research laboratories. It delivers uniform thin sections across an adjustable range of 0.25–100 µm with motor-driven specimen feed and a rigid blade holder compatible with disposable and steel blades. Automated retraction, programmable cutting modes and safety interlocks reduce operator handling and support reproducible serial sectioning for routine histology and advanced microscopy.

Key benefits

• Consistent section quality: programmable automation maintains uniform thickness across runs.
• Reliable blade handling: rigid holder and quick-change clamps ensure stable blade contact for clean cuts.
• Optimised workflow: multi-mode operation and quick clamp changes increase throughput and traceability.
• Operator safety: integrated retraction, emergency brake and protective features minimise manual exposure.

Features

• Full-automatic operation with manual override.
• Intelligent control supporting manual or automatic sectioning and programmable sequences.
• Multi-function drive for sectioning, trimming and fast positioning movements.
• Continuously adjustable cutting speed and digital display for thickness, count and speed.
• Quick-change paraffin block and cassette clamps; lockable, balanced hand wheel.
• Remote control panel and external control interface.
