Labotemp Manual Rotary Microtome ROM-04 is a manual rotary microtome designed for routine tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic, and teaching laboratories. This precision microtome machine produces consistent thin sections with an adjustable cut thickness range of 0.5–60 μm, supporting reliable serial sections for standard histology and light microscopy. The smooth handwheel-driven rotary mechanism provides controlled, stable cutting, allowing accurate sectioning without motorized assistance.
The ROM-04 offers precise specimen handling with a horizontal stroke of 0–28 mm and a vertical stroke of 52 mm, enabling controlled trimming and sectioning of routine tissue samples. Its compact mechanical design and removable waste tray allow easy cleaning and dependable daily operation compared to larger automated or sliding microtome systems.
Why choose Labotemp Rotary Microtome ROM-04?
✓ Precise thickness control: Manual adjustment supports 0.5–60 μm sectioning.
✓ Stable specimen movement: 52 mm vertical and 0–28 mm horizontal stroke enable accurate cuts.
✓ Reliable blade holding: Secure holder ensures consistent blade alignment.
