Product Overview
Labotemp Rotary Microtome ROM-03 is a manual rotary microtome designed for precise tissue sectioning in histopathology and diagnostic laboratories. It provides adjustable section thickness from 0 to 60 µm with a minimum setting of 1 µm and delivers consistent, repeatable sections for routine histology and light microscopy. The handwheel-driven rotary mechanism ensures controlled, smooth cutting and reliable sample feed.

Key Capabilities

• Adjustable section thickness: 0–60 µm, minimum step 1 µm
• Specimen feed: 28 mm horizontal, 60 mm vertical for larger blocks
• 360° specimen rotation with adjustable base angle for precise orientation
• Manual operation with optional specimen retraction (standard 5 µm or custom)
• Handwheel with dual independent locks for safe forward and backward movement
• Compact, easy-to-clean housing with wide removable waste tray

Applications

• Routine histopathology sectioning in pathology departments
• Preparation of paraffin-embedded tissue for diagnostic laboratories
• Research and teaching laboratories for light microscopy and tissue analysis
