Overview
Labotemp Cryostat microtome CRM-02 is a cryostat microtome designed for precise frozen tissue sectioning in histopathology. Also referred to as a freezing microtome or cryotome, the CRM-02 provides adjustable cutting thickness from 0.5 µm to 100 µm and a fully enclosed freezing chamber with UV disinfection and cold LED illumination to support reproducible sample preparation and operator safety.

Product details

• Adjustable section thickness and trimming ranges for fine control of sections and trims.
• Specimen control: 65 mm vertical stroke, 22 mm horizontal stroke, tissue retraction function to protect the blade.
• Fully enclosed freezing chamber with UV disinfection and cold LED illumination for safe, reproducible operation.
• Rigid microtome blade holder supporting standard disposable blades and knives.
