Thermo Scientific Microm HM 355 S Rotary Microtome for Precision Tissue Sectioning
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Microm HM 355 S Rotary Microtome is engineered for precise tissue sectioning in histology, pathology, and biomedical research, making it essential for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. It features:
- Four operation modes: interval, single, multi, and continuous stroke for versatile sectioning control.
- Fine section thickness range: from 0.5 to 100 µm adjustable in variable increments (0.5 µm to 10 µm steps), enabling high-precision slicing crucial for synthetic biology and gene editing tissue analysis.
- Trim section thickness range: 5 to 500 µm with stepped adjustments for preparatory trimming.
- Motorized coarse feed system with forward and backward travel, and three speed settings (0–450 mm/s) for smooth and reproducible sectioning of diverse specimen types.
- Ergonomic design featuring a built-in armrest and configurable for left- or right-handed users to reduce operator fatigue during extended use in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing research.
- Compatible with Microm specimen clamps and HM 300 series knife carriers, featuring 360-degree rotatable clamps and quick fine adjustments to support multi-angle sample orientation.
- Sample orientation adjustability includes 8° tilt along the X-Y axis and full 360° rotation, critical for complex tissue architecture studies and live-cell imaging sample prep.
- Sample retraction of 40 µm during return stroke to protect tissue integrity, which can be deactivated based on protocol requirements.
- Certified for safety and compliance with CE and c-CSA-US standards.
- Dimensions: 19 x 16 x 11 inches; Weight: 83 lbs; Power: 115V 50/60Hz, 1.6A.
This rotary microtome is widely adopted in synthetic biology and clinical pathology laboratories as a reliable tool for preparing uniform histological sections, supporting gene editing validation studies and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its precision and versatility make it a popular choice for researchers requiring repeatable, high-quality tissue slices critical to fluorescence analysis and live-cell imaging workflows.
