When you need the precision and speed of manual sectioning with the efficiency benefits of a semi-automated setup, the HistoCore MULTICUT saves the day.

The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. Combining the speed of a manual microtome with the precision of motorized specimen feeding, MULTICUT helps you get consistent, reproducible sections.

• Advance or retract the specimen in the position most comfortable for you- manually using the Personalized Coarse Feed Wheel or user-motorized with the push of a button.
• Enable fast and effortless trimming: with Fast Homing and Memory Position, the instrument can remember the optimal specimen position for your sectioning.
• Produce high quality sections for IHC when using MULTICUT with the RM CoolClamp.
