GHM SLP-300 Semi-Automated Microtome #

Product Description

The GHM SLP‑300 Semi‑Automated Rotary Microtome is designed to transform your paraffin sectioning workflow. Combining the reliability of a precision rotary microtome with semi‑automated functionality, the SLP‑300 helps you locate tissue samples faster, cut with exceptional accuracy, and operate with minimal fatigue. Ideal for routine histopathology, research, and high‑volume labs that demand both speed and consistency.

Key Features

📍 Rapid Sample Location

Find your target tissue in seconds. The SLP‑300 features an intuitive macro‑positioning system that allows you to quickly advance or retract the specimen block. Combined with a wide‑range specimen holder and precise orientation controls, you can rapidly locate the exact area of interest without unnecessary manual winding – drastically reducing trimming time.

🎯 High Slicing Precision

Every section counts. The SLP‑300 delivers ultra‑thin, uniform sections with exceptional reproducibility. The precision‑ground feed mechanism and stable, vibration‑free base ensure that even the most delicate tissues are cut cleanly and consistently – from 1 μm ultra‑thin sections to thicker diagnostic slices.

• Section thickness range: 1 μm – 60 μm

• Fine increments: 1 μm steps (1–10 μm)

• Trimming mode: rapid 10 μm / 50 μm for quick block preparation

• Automatic specimen retraction protects both sample and blade on the return stroke

✨ Effortless Operation Experience

Designed with the user in mind, the SLP‑300 reduces physical strain and cognitive load.

• Semi‑automated feed: Motorised coarse and fine advance with intuitive controls – no heavy handwheels for block positioning.

• Ergonomic handwheel: Low‑force rotation with a comfortable grip and 360° balance.

• Handwheel lock & safety brake: Secure the handwheel at any position for safe blade changes and specimen exchange.

• Tool‑less blade holder: Quick, secure blade clamping with integrated blade guard.

• Large, easy‑to‑clean waste tray: Removable and paraffin‑resistant for fast cleanup.

🧊 Versatile Specimen Handling

The SLP‑300 accepts all standard paraffin cassettes and can accommodate large or multiple blocks with optional adapters. The 3‑axis specimen orientation (X, Y, Z) allows you to perfectly align each block to eliminate chatter, skip‑cutting, and uneven ribbons.

🔧 Low Maintenance & Durable Construction

Built from corrosion‑resistant materials and precision‑machined components, the SLP‑300 is engineered for years of trouble‑free operation. The sealed drive mechanism prevents paraffin ingress, reducing cleaning frequency and extending service life.
