Product description

Manual rotary microtome with 0.5–60 µm section thickness range, optimized for paraffin and resin samples.

The Leica RM2125 RTS Manual Rotary Microtome delivers high-precision sectioning essential for histology, pathology, and biotechnology research applications such as molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows. Designed with a smooth rotary mechanism and ergonomic handwheel, it enables consistent preparation of paraffin and resin-embedded tissue sections with thickness settings ranging from 0.5 to 60 µm in 1 µm increments.

Key technical features include:

  • Manual rotary operation with refined mechanical engineering for stability and durability
  • 59 mm vertical specimen stroke and 25 mm horizontal feed for flexible sample adjustment
  • Specimen retraction function (~20 µm) reduces cutting artifacts
  • Trimming thickness options at 10 µm and 50 µm for initial sample preparation
  • Adjustable specimen orientations with XY ±8° tilt for precise alignment

This instrument supports research domains such as synthetic biology, molecular cloning, and biomanufacturing by enabling reproducible thin sections critical for fluorescence analysis, live-cell imaging, and clinical diagnostics. Its robust construction and minimal maintenance design make it a reliable tool widely adopted in biomedical engineering and biotechnology laboratories.

Included components are the adjustable blade holder mount and user manual. The Leica RM2125 RTS facilitates essential tissue sectioning tasks, making it popular among molecular biology researchers and indispensable in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
