Precisionary Rotary Microtomes

Precisionary Instruments offers a full line of high-quality rotary microtomes for histopathology, research, and clinical purposes. Our microtomes give you reliable sections over a range of tissue slice thicknesses.

Rotary Microtomes Perfected

With Precisionary rotary microtomes, researchers can cut thin sections of tissue, down to less than 1µm. Rotary microtomes are ideal for quick and easy high-throughput tissue sectioning, which is great for research needing serial cutting of samples. Rotary microtomes are also great for cutting harder materials like tissue embedded in paraffin-wax, polymers or resins. Every rotary microtome model from Precisionary is easy to operate and clean up making tissue prep a breeze.
