Description

Thermo Scientific Epredia™ HM 340E Electronic Rotary Microtome

The Epredia™ HM 340E is an electronically driven rotary microtome designed for the precise and efficient sectioning of tissue samples, including challenging paraffin-embedded specimens. With advanced stepper motor technology, the instrument delivers consistent and reproducible sections ranging from 0.5 to 100 micrometers in thickness.

Key Features

  • Electronic Precision
    Equipped with a menu-guided control panel that can be operated from either side of the device, promoting ergonomic posture and ease of use.

  • Adjustable Cutting Speed
    The specimen feed speed is adjustable, ensuring optimal control and precision throughout the cutting process.

  • Efficient Operation
    One-touch controls allow quick adjustment of trimming and cutting settings. A memory function enables fast return to previously used cutting positions.

  • Safe and User-Friendly Design
    Designed with safety and comfort in mind, the microtome includes a removable waste tray for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Application

Ideal for routine histological work, the HM 340E offers a reliable solution for laboratories demanding high precision and reproducibility. It combines accuracy, ergonomics, and user-friendliness in a compact and efficient device.
