Section safely with excellent quality.
Microtomes from Epredia are designed to be precise and stable, helping to yield superior sectioning results for even the most difficult-to-cut paraffin sections.
Features:
- Menu-driven control panel can be used on either side of instrument
- Display monitors a range of functions including cutting speed, section count, section thickness, and advance distance
- Four cutting modes of operation (single, interval, multi and continuous)
- User-selected cutting window control maximizes throughput by allowing the return stroke to be faster than the optimized cutting stroke
- Manual and/or foot pedal control
- Double tap start activates sectioning motor
- One-handed zero-orientation head
- Joy-stick control specimen advance and rewind
- Emergency stop immediately cuts power to the motor
- Five languages available for viewing commands
- Large, easy-to-clean waste tray extends below the blade holder
Advantages:
- Excellent for routine paraffin sections and plastic-embedded specimens
- High-quality sections with less fatigue
- Unmatched safety, ease-of-use, reliability, and consistency of results
- Instant switch between trim and section settings with independently selectable trim and section speeds
- Rock option: specimen head advances by a set amount to trim specimens without turning the hand wheel through full turns
- Selectable retraction feature
- Guide-rail guidance
