Product description

Rotary microtome with adjustable section thickness 0.5–60 µm, specimen retraction, and automatic trimming function.

The Microm HM 325 Microtome is a precision instrument designed for routine and research applications, facilitating the sectioning of paraffin-embedded and hard specimens. Its robust construction and advanced features ensure consistent, high-quality sections, making it indispensable in various scientific disciplines.

Key features include:

  • Precision micrometer feed mechanism: Allows section thickness adjustments from 0.5 to 60 µm, catering to diverse research needs.
  • Specimen retraction during return stroke: Enhances section quality and prolongs the lifespan of cutting tools.
  • Automatic trimming function: Facilitates efficient specimen preparation with selectable trimming steps of 10 or 30 µm.
  • Ergonomic design: Features a lockable handwheel and a spacious, integrated section waste tray for user comfort and operational efficiency.
  • Versatile specimen orientation: Offers fine orientation with quick-change functionality, ensuring precise alignment for optimal sectioning.

This microtome is widely utilised in fields such as histology, pathology, biotechnology, and materials science, where precise tissue or material sectioning is critical. It is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, clinical diagnostics labs, and biotechnology companies.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the Microm HM 325 remains relevant today, reflecting its enduring quality and adaptability to evolving laboratory requirements.

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.
