Minux® S700 Semi-Automatic Rotary Microtome

The Minux® S700 Semi-Automatic Rotary Microtome enables you to cut sections precisely, safely, and is easy to operate. It displays extraordinary ergonomic characteristics for comfortable operation. RWD’s S700 Rotary Microtome is a semi-automatic model, to align with your slicing habits.

When working with delicate specimens, an example being brain samples, the rotary microtome system provides reproducible, thin, serial sections of maximum quality. Unique side specimen knob and visual pointer design make specimen advance and retraction more precise. Handwheel double lock system, knife ejector, and guard enhance safety. 2-in-1 blade holder satisfies the use of high and low-profile blades.

Applications include Histopathology/Anatomical Pathology.

• Accurate
• Cross roller bearings and spindle combined with a 5-phase high-resolution stepper motor and a link block made of aviation aluminum form a high-precision sampling system that ensures slice quality.
• With patented pointer identification technology, our rotary microtome machine enables visual adjustment of the sample angle for pinpoint accuracy in positioning; the knife holder has a small lateral displacement which further enhances accuracy. The base has a scale, which is convenient for the knife holder to locate and improve the quality of slices.
• Safe
• The handwheel dual locking system comes with a lock prompt sound and is equipped with a knife ejector and knife guard so the user can safely replace the sample and blade.
• Intelligent
• 5 In. touch screen and history recording system make it easy to trace back past information and quickly solve problems.
• Convenient
• German military-grade side injection knob conforms to ergonomic design, and the operation is more comfortable and coordinated.
• Special material waste tank, non-wax, easy to clean
