Minux® S700A Automatic Rotary Microtome

RWD’s Minux® S700A Rotary Microtome is a fully automated microtome with automatic, semi-automatic, and manual options available. Four mechanized cutting modes produce high-quality sections across an extensive range of specimen types.

Minux® Rotary Microtomes display extraordinary ergonomic characteristics for comfortable operation while maintaining reproducible precision. Unique side specimen knob and visual pointer design make specimen advance and retraction more precise. Handwheel double lock system with knife ejector and guard enhance safety. Special memory system allows the user to remember the optimal specimen position for fast and effortless sectioning. 2-in-1 blade holder satisfies the use of high and low-profile blades.

• Accurate
• Cross roller bearings and spindle, combined with a five-phase high-resolution stepper motor and a link block made of aviation aluminum, form a high-precision sampling system to ensure slice quality.
• Original imported drive motor and encoder ensure stable and smooth automatic slicing.
• With patented technology pointer identification, the sample angle can be adjusted visually, and the positioning is more accurate. Knife holder has a small lateral displacement and high accuracy. The base has a scale, which is convenient for the knife holder to locate and improve the quality of slices. 
• Safe
• Handwheel dual locking system comes with a lock prompt sound and is equipped with a knife ejector and a knife guard so that the user can safely replace the sample and blade. After automatic slicing is completed, the electronic brake keeps the handwheel in a stable state to ensure safe operation.
• Intelligent
• 4 automatic slicing modes. Cutting window function ensures the quality of slices while improving the efficiency of automatic slices.
• 5 In. touch screen and history recording system make it easy to trace back information and quickly solve problems.
• Convenient
• Imported military-grade side sample injection knob conforms to the ergonomic design, and the operation is more comfortable and coordinated.
• Special material waste tank, non-wax, easy to clean.
