Links

Fully automated RWD Minux® S700A microtome with options for automatic, semi-automatic, and manual operation to suit various microtomist requirements. Four mechanical cutting modes were available to produce high-quality sections from a wide variety of specimen kinds.

It exhibits exceptional ergonomic qualities for pleasant usage and consistent accuracy.

The accurate specimen advance and retraction is made possible by the side specimen knob's special design and the visual pointer.

Safety is improved by a handwheel double lock system, a knife ejector, and a guard.

A unique memory mechanism to keep track of the ideal specimen position for quick and simple sectioning.

Features & Benefits

Accurate

A high-precision sampling system is formed by a five-phase high-resolution Stepper motor, a Link block constructed of aviation aluminum, imported German cross roller bearings, and a spindle to guarantee slice quality. Drive motor and encoder that were originally imported guarantee steady and fluid automatic slicing.
Precise placement: The positioning is more precise, the sample angle may be changed visually, and there is patented technology pointer identification. The knife holder has a little lateral displacement and great precision. The scale on the base makes it easy for the knife holder to find and produce better slices.

Safe

Operator protection: The handwheel dual locking system has a lock prompt sound, a knife guard, and an ejector for the knife, allowing the operator to replace the sample and blade safely. The electronic brake maintains the handwheel in a stable state after the automatic slicing is finished to ensure safe operation.

Intelligent

Intelligent slicing: Four automatic slicing options to suit various slicing scenes' requirements. Cutting window function to boost the effectiveness of automatic slices while ensuring slice quality.
Tracking information using a 5-inch touch screen, historical recording system, and simple information retrieval and problem-solving.

Convenient

Easy operation: The military-grade side sample injection knob that was imported complies with ergonomic design standards, making operation more coordinated and comfort.
Easy maintenance: non-wax, unique material waste tank.

Applications

Used in clinical or research laboratories.
Anatomical pathology and histopathology are the application fields.
Prepare tissues from animals, plants, or humans for histological sections.

-Maintain samples at the same angle and accomplish accurate sample positioning with the help of the proprietary sample positioning mechanism and visual pointer identification.

-Utilizing the 5-inch touch screen is simple. Easy to learn and understand, stylish and straightforward operation interface.

-The side sampling knob has been ergonomically created to enhance user comfort. The half-knife repair function streamlines the operation and reduces time and labor requirements.

Dual handwheel locks allow the handwheel to be locked in any position. The operator's protection is increased by a knife guarding and retraction system, an emergency stop button, and other features.

Improved sectioning efficiency using sample position memory function and one-click reset.

The historical record system makes information tracking and equipment utilization queries possible.

When the horizontal sampling has 1mm left, an audible and visual alarm will sound.

Cut window functionality. To more effectively manage the automatic slice quality, the vertical stroke slice window can be modified so that different slice speeds can be utilized for the stroke outside the window and the slice inside the window.
