The design and technology of the Leica RM2245 utilize the patented balancing system first introduced in the Leica RM 2135 rotary microtome. A precision step motor is used for convenient and accurate specimen advance so that the section thickness remains consistent at any setting. In addition, the Leica RM2245 is the first semi-motorized microtome where the sample is advanced and retracted without having to turn the handwheel completely (i.e. rocking/ Ergomode). The position of the sample can be stored via the horizontal stop memory.

The entire accessory line including knife holders, specimen clamping systems and specimen orientation has been re-engineered providing you with the most superior technology available on the microtomy market.

The semi-motorized rotary microtome Leica RM2245 with its superior technology sets new standards for high efficiency and economy in quality assurance. Developed in our DIN EN ISO 2000 certified manufacturing site in Germany, the Leica RM2245 meets the strict GS, VDE, UL, and CSA standards.
