Leica RM2255 Rotary Microtome for Precise Tissue Sectioning

The Leica RM2255 Rotary Microtome is engineered for precise and reliable tissue sectioning critical in histology, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology applications including molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Featuring a section thickness range of 0.5 to 100 µm and trimming thickness up to 600 µm, it supports high-precision cutting for thin tissue slices essential in microscopic and cellular analysis. The integrated force balance system ensures smooth and stable operation, reducing operator fatigue during extensive use.

Key features include:

• Adjustable sample feed of approx. 24 mm ±1 mm and a vertical stroke of 70 mm ±1 mm
• Large sample capacity with clamps supporting sizes of 55 x 50 x 30 mm (standard) and 68 x 48 x 15 mm (large cassette)
• Sample retraction adjustable from 5 to 100 µm in 5 µm increments, with an option to disable for continuous operation
• Customizable coarse feed wheel rotation direction tailored to user preference
• Precise orientation control with horizontal and vertical rotation ±8° and zero position enabling optimal sample alignment
• Equipped with a static electricity prevention waste tray to enhance section cleanliness and reduce contamination risk

This rotary microtome is widely adopted in biomedical engineering, histopathology, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where reliable, high-quality sectioning is crucial. Its robust build weighing approximately 40 kg and compact footprint (47.7 x 62 x 29.5 cm) make it suitable for benchtop use in laboratories focused on synthetic biology and gene editing research.
