SHUR/Cut™ SC2500
Semi-Automatic Retracting Microtome
Heavy duty biological or industrial microtome
The SC2500 has the same motorized trimming & sectioning setting features as the SC3500; but, doesn’t have the added benefit of an ergonometric hand-pad controller
The following items are included with the microtome: x-y specimen orientation, quick-release clamp, low & high profile blade holder and magnetized waste tray, and instructions. |

SHUR/Cut™ SC3500
Semi-Automatic Retracting Microtome
Heavy duty, retracting, biological or industrial microtome
User-friendly hand-pad allows the operator to store separate trimming and sectioning thicknesses. To switch from one to the other, simply press the appropriate embossed switch. 2-speed motorized specimen arm forward and reverse feed functions rapidly advance a tissue block for cutting or returning to the rear for inserting a new block. Retraction is activated / deactivated by the push of a button. One-handed operation for specimen course advance / return. No longer is the operator required to extend both arms to section or trim. Simply push a button to switch between operator selectable pre-set trimming & sectioning thickness and then rotate the hand-wheel at your preferred speed to generate beautiful ribbons effortlessly. |

SHUR/Cut™ SC4500
Electronic Retracting Microtome
Heavy duty, motorized, retracting biological or industrial microtome
The SC4500 has an adjustable-speed motorized cutting stroke that can be customized to simulate a manual motion, leaving the operator’s hands free to manipulate and guide the sections. The motor drive was engineered to provide the utmost in accuracy, efficiency and precise sectioning. The user-friendly touch pad controller provides easy switchover between pre-set trimming and sectioning modes.
The motor drive is controlled by an intuitive hand-pad that provides fingertip control of start/stop, speed control from 0 to ??? rpm, selection of motorized or single stroke modes, or, can be manually operated. The extra long cable allows the hand-pad to be conveniently positioned for user comfort and to minimize repetitive motion stress. Automatic specimen positioning memory function facilitates removing a block for rehydration or cooling, and, with a push of a button after re-inserting a block into the specimen clamp, the electronic memory will reposition the specimen back to the original location.
A readily accessible emergency stop button instantly halts the motor drive when activated For safety, reactivation is possible only after resetting the instrument to ensure that the corrections were completed.
Motorized operation can also be actuated by the optional footpedal to provide single stroke or continuous sectioning modes, or it can be used to stop the motor drive. Metal housing helps to eliminate accidental activation. |
