HistoCore MULTICUT - Semi-Automated Rotary Microtomes
From Histology Solutions - Microtome
When you need the precision and speed of manual sectioning with the efficiency benefits of a semi-automated setup, the HistoCore MULTICUT saves the day. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. Combining the speed of a manual microtome with the precision of motorized specimen feeding, MULTICUT helps you get consistent, reproducible sections.

Products Details
- Advance or retract the specimen in the position most comfortable for you - manually using the Personalized Coarse Feed Wheel or user-motorized with the push of a button.
- Enable fast and effortless trimming: with Fast Homing and Memory Position, the instrument can remember the optimal specimen position for your sectioning.
- Produce high quality sections for IHCwhen using MULTICUT with the RM CoolClamp.
Features
Advance or retract the specimen in the position most comfortable for you - using the manual coarse feed wheel or the push of a button. In addition, the HistoCore MULTICUT can remember the optimal specimen position for your sectioning, enabling you to achieve fast and effortless trimming.
With the Antistatic Waste Tray, MULTICUT helps you keep your workplace clean, efficient, and debris-free. The tray is made from antistatic material which prevents paraffin waste from sticking to the walls. It provides unmatched efficiency by reducing your cleaning time from minutes to seconds.
Our new models feature 40% more surface area on top of the microtome (23.5cm W x 27.5cm L, vs. 21.7cm W x 21.2cm L on the RM22xx series) so you can store the tools you need for your job – brushes, blades, wipes, and more.
Precision-Orientation System
Always get back to a 0-position home on the microtome, regardless of how you (or another tech) have changed the instrument's orientation.
Force Balance System
Minimize the risk of injury to the operator or specimen by an unbalanced object head.
