ROTARY MICROTOME RF-1000

Fully Automated Rotary Microtome

Our rotary microtome RF-1000 is a fully automated model ideal for repetitive tissue slicing. This model is our top-of-the-line microtome and tissue slicer for histopathology, made to provide reliability and outstanding operator comfort. The RF-1000 rotary microtome gives you stability and high-precision cutting, allowing it to be a multi-purpose instrument for cutting paraffin wax-embedded sections in research and clinical labs.

Key Features of the RF-1000 Rotary Microtome

Side control panel allows for “sectioning” and “trimming” modes, slice thickness adjustments, and automation on/off

LCD touchscreen panel shows multiple control settings (section & trim thickness, cutting mode, speed, and stroke distance)

Specimen retraction helps users avoid damage between slice sample surfaces, ensuring higher quality slices

Specimen clamp is compatible with multiple cassette sizes

Safety emergency stop button included

Smooth turning handwheel can be locked for safety

Cutting stage has a blade guard for safety

Large volume waste tray is removable for easy cleaning

“The main advantages of this machine are the rapid speed of slicing and the manual stabilization afforded by the agarose embedding. I am able to prepare uniform slices in both the coronal and horizontal planes, and I routinely complete transcardial perfusion, brain removal, and slicing all within less than 10 minutes, which is half the time needed with the Leica vibratome.”

Working with the Precisionary team has been phenomenal. Their customer service is unmatched. They respond quickly, work quickly, and are constantly looking for ways to improve user experiences. I have had great success using their Compresstome VF-800-OZ for tissue slicing. This model has allowed me to increase throughput, consistency and efficiency simultaneously, while yielding amazing results. The device is user friendly, compact for any lab space, and produces quality tissue slices with ease. The amazing customer service together with the functionality of the device make Precisionary stand out amongst the other companies in industry.

The compresstome has enabled us to cut live precision slices of tissues that we were unable to cut using a conventional vibratome, and so has made a huge difference to many projects! The customer service provided by Precisionary is excellent – always helpful, always friendly, always prompt. I can highly recommend this company and its products.
