A Microtome Unlike any Other

Do you struggle to meet the needs of EVERY microtomist in your lab? Finally, there is a solution designed to give your users the freedom they desire: HistoCore AUTOCUT. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. It allows users to select among automated, semi auto-automated, or manual sectioning modes based their personal preferences.

• Every microtomist can use their preferred sectioning mode:
• Maximize safety in the lab: The AUTOCUT improves on past automated models with an automatic electronic brake to minimize the risk of injury during operation.
• Shorten cleaning time from minutes to seconds with the Antistatic Waste Tray.
