Remanufactured Leica RM2235 Rotary Microtome

Designed for outstanding durability, precision, and comfort, the Remanufactured Leica RM2235 Rotary Microtome is the manual sectioning instrument of choice for clinical histology and histopathology institutions. This Leica rotary microtome combines a patented spring-based force balancing system with an ergonomic one-piece housing, advanced safety features, and precision knife holder adjustment to deliver consistently high-quality sections day after day.

Whether your lab handles routine paraffin sectioning or demanding high-throughput pathology work, the Leica 2235 rotary microtome offers the performance and reliability your team depends on; at remanufactured value.

Key Features

• Patented spring-based force balancing system compensates sectioning forces without a counterweight, producing an exceptionally smooth and effortless handwheel rotation for superior sectioning results

• Precision specimen orientation with clear zero reference point; calibrated controls allow easy adjustment to an exact zero position indicated by red pins, or a measurable variable on the x/y axis for re-cuts

• Lateral knife holder adjustment allows use of the entire blade width without releasing the clamping mechanism; three predefined stop positions (left, center, right) correspond to standard histology cassette width

• Two handwheel safety locking mechanisms: one-thumb operation locks the specimen head in the uppermost position for specimen and blade changes; a second mechanism on the microtome base locks the object head in any position

• Integrated red finger protection guard on knife holder E uniquely shields the blade edge and can remain in place even during sectioning, providing continuous operator protection

• Ergonomically positioned coarse feed wheel located close to the operator for fatigue-free use; mechanical trimming function placed adjacent to the coarse feed wheel eliminates the need to operate the coarse feed wheel during trimming

• Spacious magnetized section waste tray reliably collects paraffin debris; held securely in place by magnets yet easily removable for emptying and cleaning

• One-piece housing made from specially resistant plastic with no edges where debris can accumulate, minimizing cleaning time

• Universal knife holder base compatible with virtually all Leica knife holder systems

• Single-handed operation universal cassette clamp for fast, easy specimen loading and removal

• Optimized microtome base plate provides maximum rigidity using the latest lightweight materials

• Fewer clamping levers provide improved, unencumbered access to the cutting area

• Optional cooling plate available for cold storage of specimen blocks on top or on either side of the microtome

• Chilled universal cassette clamp (UCC) available as optional accessory; kept cold using ice cubes or dry ice to maintain specimen blocks at cold temperatures throughout sectioning

• Wide range of accessories available on request; certifications: CE, c-CSA-us; manufactured under DIN EN ISO 9001 quality control procedures

Applications

• Routine H&E tissue sectioning in clinical histology and histopathology laboratories

• High-throughput surgical pathology slide preparation

• Paraffin block sectioning for immunohistochemistry and special staining workflows

• Large specimen and tissue microarray sectioning

• Research and diagnostic laboratory microtomy

• Laboratories where manual rotary microtomes are preferred over motorized units
