GHM SLP-200 Microtome #

Product Description

The GHM SLP‑200 Rotary Microtome is a high‑precision paraffin sectioning instrument designed for routine histopathology, research laboratories, and educational settings. Engineered for consistent performance and operator comfort, this rotary microtome delivers uniform tissue sections from 1 μm to 60 μm, supporting a wide range of diagnostic and research applications.

Whether you need to produce serial sections for immunohistochemistry, trim paraffin blocks, or cut challenging tissue types, the SLP‑200 combines stability, intuitive controls, and a robust mechanical design to streamline your microtomy workflow.

Key Features

🧬 High‑Precision Sectioning

The SLP‑200 offers a section thickness setting range of 1‑60 μm, with fine 1 μm increments from 1‑10 μm, and 2 μm increments from 10‑20 μm (up to 60 μm on select variants). This flexibility allows you to produce both ultra‑thin sections for high‑resolution microscopy and thicker sections for specialized stains, all with consistent, reproducible quality.

🎯 Dual Trimming & Sectioning Modes

Simplify your block preparation with dedicated trimming thickness settings of 10 μm and 50 μm, allowing you to quickly expose tissue surfaces before switching to fine sectioning. The clear mechanical interface ensures smooth transitions between coarse trimming and precision cutting.

✨ Ergonomic Dual Handwheel Design

The SLP‑200 features a dual handwheel system that enhances operational comfort and control. The ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions, making it ideal for high‑volume workflows. The handwheel can be locked at any position for safe specimen exchange and blade adjustments—directly inspired by the safety features found on advanced cryostats.

🔒 Operator & Specimen Safety

Your safety is built into the design. The handwheel locking mechanism prevents unintended movement during setup, while the automatic specimen retraction function protects both the sample and the blade during the return stroke. This feature minimizes tissue damage, reduces blade wear, and ensures a longer operational life.

🧊 Easy Sample Handling

The quick‑loading specimen holder allows fast block changes without tools, and the 3‑axis specimen orientation system gives you precise control over cutting angles—eliminating chatter, skip‑cutting, and uneven ribbon formation. You can achieve perfectly aligned ribbons with minimal effort.

🧼 Low‑Maintenance & Clean Design

The SLP‑200 is built with a seamless, wipe‑clean housing that prevents paraffin and debris accumulation. The spacious removable waste tray collects ribbon residues and shavings, making cleanup fast and hygienic.

🔧 Versatile Blade Compatibility

Use either standard disposable microtome blades or conventional steel knives—the SLP‑200 accommodates both, giving you the freedom to choose the best cutting tool for your specimen type.

💡 Compact & Stable Footprint

With dimensions of approximately 300 mm (W) × 602 mm (D) × 298 mm (H), the SLP‑200 has a compact bench‑top footprint that conserves valuable laboratory space. The heavy‑duty construction provides vibration‑free operation for consistent cut quality.
