FAQ
What compressor system does the RD-2280 use?
The RD-2280 is equipped with a SECOP dual-compressor system, an internationally recognized brand. The compressors independently cool the freezing chamber (10°C to -60°C), knife holder, specimen clamp, and tissue flattener (down to -50°C).
What section thickness range does the RD-2280 support?
The RD-2280 offers a sectioning range of 0.5μm-100μm with adjustable increments (0.5/1/2/5um). The trimming range is 0-600um (5/10/50um increments). Specimen retraction is adjustable from 0-100um in 5um steps and can be disabled.
How does the sleep mode and automatic defrosting work?
The energy-saving sleep mode maintains the chamber between -5°C and -15°C during idle periods and restores the slicing temperature within 15 minutes. The timed sleep switch supports both manual and automatic defrosting, significantly reducing maintenance downtime.
What safety features does the RD-2280 include?
The RD-2280 is equipped with a full-length knife guard with a blue blade pusher, UV sterilization, heated glass anti-condensation window, and a 360-degree handwheel with arbitrary point locking for stable and safe operation.
