Description

The YR416-1 Semi-Automatic Detection Microtome offers maximum reliability, comfort, and precision for users. This microtome is a versatile tool designed for both paraffin sectioning and hard section techniques in biology, medicine, and industry. Its cutting motor allows for precise sections, ensuring excellent reproducibility. One of its most notable features is the adjustable cutting window. This window matches the sample size, with the preselected speed applied only within this window. This enables the precise sectioning of delicate specimens in a short amount of time. The section thickness ranges from 0.25 μm to 100 μm. Users can easily switch between fine and coarse sectioning during the process.

The YR416-1 has a minimum cutting thickness setting of 0.25 μm and a horizontal feed of 28 mm. Its vertical sample stroke is 70 mm. It allows for sample holder rotation at any angle within 360 degrees. Additionally, the BladeHolder Base has a movement range of 0-60 mm (front to back), and the Blade Press Plate has a movement range of 0-23 mm. The sample orientation is XY-8°, and the maximum sample size is 70 × 70 mm. Its feed speed adjustment ranges from 1500 μm/s to 3500 μm/s, with a precision error of ±1%. It operates at AC 220V±10% 50Hz (standard model) or AC110V±10% 60Hz. Its power consumption is 100W. The dimensions are 575×420×330 mm (Width×Depth×Height), and it weighs 37 kg.

Market Price

The price of the YR416-1 Semi-Automatic Detection Microtome ranges between $5,000 and $8,000. This depends on the distributor and additional features required. Consequently, this price range makes it an accessible and competitive option for high-precision laboratory equipment.
