Used Lab Equipment

The 1512 rotary microtome was especially designed for the preparation of various paraffin-embedded specimens in histology and pathology. High-quality and corrosion-resistant materials. Long service life and lasting sectioning precision. All common knife types up to 170 mm long can be used. Integrated safety guard for maximum safety. Various specimen clamps available. Section thickness range from 1 to 25 um. All controls are placed on the front of the microtome ensuring convenient operation during the setting of section thicknesses, the controlled sectioning of the object and the rapid adjustment of the knife. For precise alignment of the specimen and the knife, the specimen clamp can be tilted through 10 degrees in any direction by means of two knurled screws. Knife moves horizontally towards the specimen, either automatically or manually. Knife can be rapidly adjusted by hand, over a range of 36mm. Each unit is complete with specimen cassette clamp or universal block clamp. Each unit has a standard microtome knife holder.

Description:

The sliding microtome HM 450 from Thermo Scientific is a highly efficient instrument with specimen retraction during return travel. It can be used for sectioning paraffin in the routine lab. The main applications are in human and veterinary medicine. Moreover, the sliding microtome can be used for the specimen preparation in the medical and industrial research. Large and hard specimens from pharmaceuticals industry or from quality assurance labs can also be sectioned. The cross roller bearings on sledge and block allow non-tiring working and a smooth sliding movement with optimal stability. The HM 450 will cut sections from 0 µm to 100 µm. The specimen clamping can be moved up and downwards via the two arrow-shaped coarse feed buttons on the left side of the instrument. This way, specimen and knife edge distance can be adjusted quickly. The knife carrier is designed so the knives can be easily clamped in place and adjusted. The coaxial specimen orientation allows orientation with one hand.
