LEICA RM2255 Motorized Microtome (paraffin)
The fully automated rotary microtome Leica RM2255, designed for paraffin samples sectioning, offers a wide range of applications for histology research in laboratories. The RM2255 is designed for customers who want to integrate samples in paraffin or resin in clinical pathology and biomedical research. It is fully powered by a stepper motor, with a precision orientation system and a large powerful engine for cutting. The microtome can be operated manually too.
The cutting speed can be adjusted to cut hard materials and paraffin embedded samples with high performance without detriment to the sectioning quality.
Its features are: fully motorized rotary microtome with adjustable cutting speed and two speeds of movement, ergonomic design with an external control panel, selection of steps or continuous motion, safety lever with two locking mechanisms, integrated storage tray at the top of the microtome, internal mechanism protection system, specimen clamp system, one-handed operation way and integrated section waste tray.

AS A GENERAL RULES
- The only histology devices to which users have direct access are: cryostat, microtome and vibratome. They are available from Monday to Sunday, as long as the reservation has been made on time.
Automatic Tissue Processor and Paraffin Dispenser are restricted exclusively to staff.
- Anyone who wants access to cut equipment must ask previously the responsible technician, who is the only responsible person for training users and authorize the use of the equipments once they are trained.
- A maximum of 3 hours per user could be booked. If there are not to be used, reservation must be cancelled immediately.
- Please be punctual when using the equipment. More than 15 minutes of delay or misuses of the equipment would cause the booking cancellation or the impediment of use of the equipment.
- The equipment must not be switched on at night, unless the responsible technician was aware.
- The consumables, molds, slides, cassettes, antirolling glasses, knives, etc. will be provided by the user.
To ensure the smooth operation of the service, the service technician is obliged to inform the respective IR in case of repeated breach of any of these rules. IBiS Management Team will take control measures in case of continued misuses.
