SKU: RF-800
IN STOCK! Delivers in 7-10 days.
Covered by a 3-year warranty (included!)
Our rotary microtome RF-800 is a semi-automated model that is ideal for repetitive tissue slicing. This microtome is designed to achieve higher quality tissue sections, especially paraffin wax embedded samples. The thin tissue slices can then be processed for H&E, immunohistochemistry, and other histopathological needs.
Our RF-800 microtome has section thickness precision down to 0.1 µm, making it applicable for ultramicrotome experimental needs.
KEY FEATURES OF THE RF-800 ROTARY MICROTOME
The Precisionary Rotary Microtome RF-800 is a Semi-Automated model for cutting tissue slices. Check out its key features:
- LCD touchscreen panel shows all cutting metrics
- Control panel provides easy and friendly controls
- Specimen clamp is compatible with multiple cassette sizes
- Cutting stage has blade guard and blade ejector for increased safety. Can also be used with high- or low-profile blades
- Large volume waste tray is removable for easy cleaning
- Top of microtome can be used for storage of consumables during cutting, saving space
- Smooth turning handwheel can be locked anywhere in the 360-degree turn, allowing for improved ergonomics
Our rotary microtomes help you create perfectly coinsistent and thin sections that are free of chattermarks.
Use our Compresstome® tissue slicer and rotary microtomes to create smooth, thin & consistent sections for protein staining.
Both Compresstomes® and rotary microtomes can cut certain polymers, resins, and cellular matrices for biomedical and mechanical engineering research.
Our microtomes are able to cut consistent slices of plant leaves, stems, seeds, and roots.
