Produce exceptionally uniform, tissue-thin ribbons and maintain micro-precise sectioning stability with our selection of refurbished rotary and heavy-duty sliding microtomes. Essential for every histology and materials research laboratory, high-performance microtomes deliver the structural rigidity needed to process standard paraffin blocks as well as dense, large-format specimens without chatter marks or compression artifacts. Whether your workflow demands tactile manual handwheel control, fully motorized rotary operation, or heavy-duty sledge mechanisms for hard tissues, our pre-owned collection delivers exceptional mechanical reliability. For high-volume clinical pathology labs seeking maximum automation and sectioning consistency, explore our featured refurbished Leica RM2255 fully automatic microtome, engineered for smooth, motorized rotary operation.
The Leica HistoCore BioCut Manual Rotary Microtome combines high-speed precision with industry-leading ergonomic design for comfortable, daily manual sectioning. Built on Leica Biosystems’ 145+ year heritage of microtomy innovation, the BioCut features a 2-in-1 blade holder to easily switch between high and low-profile blades, a precision-orientation system to quickly return to a 0-position home, and an antistatic waste tray that reduces cleanup time from minutes to seconds.
The Leica HistoCore AutoCut Automated Rotary Microtome provides high-precision sectioning tailored to every technician’s preference. Designed for versatility and speed, the HistoCore AutoCut allows operators to easily switch between automated, semi-automated, and manual sectioning modes.
