MICROTOME, SEMI AUTOMATED - MYR

M-240, Semi-Automated Rotary Microtome: for paraffin-embedded tissue sectioning

The M-240 microtome from Myr uses state-of-the-art technology and embodies the company´s commitment to quality and excellence in microtomy. It provides the operational convenience and the stability required for outstanding sectioning in routine, research, and industry applications.

User-friendly interface

Full-color TFT 7” display with PCAD (projected capacitive) touchscreen. The size and tilt of the display allow an easy and effortless selection of the parameters and increase user safety.

All required parameters and functions are available on the main screen: section mode, section and trimming thickness, section counter, section sum, remaining travel, retraction and coarse feed, and memory function.

Memory function

MEM key for higher productivity, to retrieve previous cuttings settings when working with uniform paraffin blocks. By simply pressing a key, the specimen moves into the stored MEM position.

Specimen orienting head

Thanks to a blocking mechanism the easy-to-operate change system allows to work with different specimen clamps.

Indication of 0-position in x and y direction by palpable “click” for the precise alignment of the specimen.

Motorized specimen feed

Precise, motorized coarse feed in two modes, continuous and step. In continuous mode, speed is selectable between slow and fast to ensure a controlled specimen approach.

Quick-release specimen clamp

The cutting-edge design of the specimen clamp prevents the building up of dirt and facilitates operations with the microtome.

The retraction function selectable between 5 -250μ can be deactivated, although it is advisable as it prolongs the life of the blade. ( Default value 40 μ)

Spacious waste tray

The special antistatic coating prevents paraffin adhesion and minimizes the cleaning time. Ergonomic design with surface for arm rest. Wide area on the top of the microtome for the storage of tools.

Knife carrier system

The blade holder slides sideways in both directions allowing the use of the entire cutting edge. It accepts low- and high-profile blades.

All blade holders are equipped with finger guards for safety reasons.

Smooth and ergonomic handwheel

The handwheel is perfectly balanced thanks to an innovative counterweight system and can be locked in any angular position. Cutting can be done by turning the handwheel clockwise or counterclockwise.

Sectioning

The instrument is equipped with a simple and intuitive interface for quick learning.

The high cutting quality helps to obtain precise sections while the smooth-working handwheel minimizes user fatigue, allowing you to improve your performance and have greater productivity.
