Overview
Labotemp Rotary Microtome ROM-05 is a precision manual rotary microtome designed for controlled tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic and research laboratories. The unit provides an adjustable section thickness range of 0–60 µm with a minimum setting of 1 µm, enabling accurate serial sections for routine histology and light microscopy. A screw-feed mechanism combined with imported cross-roller guide rails ensures stable, repeatable sectioning. Specimen handling supports up to 60×50 mm blocks with 28 mm horizontal feed and 70 mm vertical feed. The rigid blade holder is available in high- or low-profile options to fit standard disposable microtome blades.

Why choose ROM-05

• Precise thickness control: adjustable 0–60 µm range with 1 µm minimum setting
• Stable specimen movement: 28 mm horizontal and 70 mm vertical feed
• Optional specimen retraction: 90 µm to reduce blade contact during return stroke
• Manual screw-feed drive and cross-roller guides for consistent, repeatable cuts

Features

• 1 µm sectioning precision
• Imported cross-roller guide rails with screw motion
• Stable mechanical structure with high-precision components
• Handwheel with mechanical balance and position lock
• Rigid blade holder covering full blade length for operator safety
• Magnetic large waste tray for quick installation and removal
• Quick switching between specimen clamps

Applications

• Routine histopathology sectioning in pathology laboratories
• Clinical and diagnostic laboratories
• Biomedical research institutions
• Teaching and training laboratories for paraffin-embedded tissue preparation
