Description

The HM340E microtome is an advanced instrument utilized in the Histocore laboratories to precisely section thin slices of tissue samples embedded in paraffin wax. It employs cutting-edge stepping-motor technology to ensure stability and accuracy during the slicing process, even when dealing with challenging specimens. The microtome guarantees uniform and smooth sectioning for histological analysis. Additionally, it incorporates features such as an integrated waste tray for efficient debris management and safety mechanisms like a hand wheel brake and blade guard to prevent accidents during operation.
