RWD S700, S700A, S710 and S712 microtomes have been registered and listed by the US FDA (available on the FDA official website) and have been approved for clinical use.
S700A is a fully automated microtome with automatic, semi-automatic, and manual options available to meet the different needs of microtomists. Featured four mechanized cutting modes to produce high-quality sections across an extensive range of specimen types.
It displays extraordinary ergonomic characteristics for comfortable operation while maintaining reproducible precision.
The unique side specimen knob and visual pointer design make specimen advance and retraction more precise.
Handwheel double lock system and knife ejector and guard enhance safety.Special memory system to remember the optimal specimen position for fast and effortless sectioning.
The 2-in-1 blade holder satisfies the use of high and low-profile blades.
