Remanufactured Leica RM2135 Manual Rotary Microtome | Medical Equipment Source
Built on over 125 years of Leica microtome expertise, the Remanufactured Leica RM2135 Manual Rotary Microtome delivers advanced technology, ergonomic design, and exceptional safety standards for daily histology use. This leica manual rotary microtome combines a patented gravitational force compensation system with cross roller bearings and a backlash-free micrometer feed to produce uniform, perfectly stretched sections across paraffin and hard-sectioning applications.
Key Features
-
Patented gravitational force compensation system offsets centrifugal forces via a pre-stressed spring lever, eliminating the need for a counterweight and ensuring exceptionally smooth handwheel rotation
-
Low-maintenance manual rotary microtome with cross roller bearings for vertical and horizontal specimen movement, guaranteeing vibration-free strokes even at high cutting speeds
-
Backlash-free micrometer feed system in a dust-proof, totally enclosed housing for long-term precision
-
Smoothly running handwheel with quick locking system; 12 o'clock mechanism automatically locks the handwheel in the upper position by pulling the handle outward
-
Ergonomically positioned coarse feed wheel available in clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; optional front-mounted configuration also available
-
Specimen retraction of 200 µm standard; can be disengaged when not required
-
Wide range of optional accessories including specimen orientation with anti-tilt feature, section waste tray, knife holder base with lateral displacement, mechanical trimming device, and ergonomic hand rest
Applications
-
Routine paraffin section preparation in histology and surgical pathology
-
Hard specimen sectioning for research and clinical tissue analysis
-
Large specimen block and tissue microarray sectioning
-
Microscope-ready slide preparation for H&E and special staining workflows
