HistoCore BIOCUT R - Mechanical Manual Rotary Microtome

149BIOR00C1, 14052158201

New Worlds Discovered - Research Reimagined

Faster Trimming and Consistent Cuts for all your Research Needs

HistoCore BIOCUT R facilitates faster trimming thanks to the new coarse feed wheel that lets you customize the direction of rotation. Built on 145+ years of market-leading microtomes, Leica Biosystems offers the next generation of microtomes with specially designed models for serial cutting with the actively cooled RM CoolClamp, which keeps the block cold longer for consistent slice thickness over multiple sections.

  • Advance or retract the specimen according to your preference by manually turning the Personalized Coarse Feed Wheel.
  • The new model allows you to switch between high and low-profile blades even faster without changing blade holders by using the 2-in-1 Blade Holder.
  • Silent retraction produces little to no noise, allowing the user to work in a quiet environment, creating a comfortable user experience.

Save Room on your Workbench - Store Tools on Top of your Microtome

Our new models feature 40% more surface area on top of the microtome. You can store even more of your necessary tools - brush, blades, wipes, and more.

Prepare High Quality Non-Human Paraffin Sections for all of your Research Needs

The microtome is specially designed for serial cutting with the actively cooled RM CoolClamp and the low-temperature block for consistent slice thickness over multiple sections. Switch between high and low-profile blades even faster without changing blade holders by using the 2-in-1 Blade Holder.

Precision Orientation System

Always get back to the 0-position on the microtome. The precision orientation system allows you to precisely position your specimen prior to sectioning.

Force Balance System

The unique force balance system handles various block sizes as well as the RM CoolClamp, which minimizes the risk of injury from an unbalanced object head.

Frequently Asked Questions

HistoCore Microtomes

Does the new HistoCore RM antistatic tray fit on the older RM22xx series?

No – the microtome base plates of both series have different dimensions and are not compatible with each other.

How does the new antistatic waste tray reduce contamination?

The antistatic waste tray is made from resistant antistatic material to avoid debris sticking to the walls of the tray.

Is the new 2-in-1 blade holder compatible as a whole assembly with the older RM22xx series?

Yes – only in the combination blade holder and 2-in-1 blade holder.

Can we still use the backlighting with the new blade holder base for the 2-in-1 blade holder?

No – the 2-in-1 blade holder base does not have the cut-out for the backlighting.

Which accessories of the older RM22xx Series cannot be used with the HistoCore RMs anymore?

  1. Small section waste tray
  2. Large section waste tray
  3. Top tray – HistoCore RM top tray is 40% larger than the RM22xx series tray
  4. Cooling Device – too small to be placed on instrument top. However, it’s still good to place next to the instrument

 

 

What is the advantage of the personalized coarse feed wheel?

Convenience and ease-of-user – users can select their personal preference of coarse feed wheel turn direction. This feature is preserved from the RM22xx series, allowing users to trim at the high pace.

What is the advantage of “Fast homing”?

The return speed of the object head from front to home position has been reduced from 26 seconds (older series) to 13 seconds (new series). This accelerated speed helps to shorten the sectioning process each time the object head is returned to home position.

What is the advantage of the Memory Position?

When batch trimming and using the same height of blocks, Memory Position will help to accelerate the sectioning.

  1. First insert a new block
  2. Bring the block to the blade
  3. Set the Memo position (stored)
  4. Trim
  5. Remove block for re-cooling
  6. Press “Memo” – the object head returns to the set object change position
  7. Insert a new block – check position
  8. Trim again
