Key Features
Remote Control Operation — All functions accessible via external remote control, with mobile control display screen for intuitive user experience.
Automatic Specimen Alignment — Tissue automatically moves to blade edge when activated for efficient workflow.
3-Point Handwheel Lock — 360° position lock, top quick lock, and electronic lock provide maximum safety during specimen loading.
Angle-Adjustable Specimen Clamp — ±16° horizontal and vertical adjustment with 360° rotation for easy sample alignment.
Smart Section Counting — Automatically excludes trimming strokes and records only sectioning data for accurate documentation.
Sleep Mode — Freely adjustable sleep timer conserves energy during idle periods between sectioning sessions.
CE & ISO 13485 Certified — Meets international medical device quality management standards for pathology laboratories.
Specimen Retraction Function -- Protects delicate specimens by retracting the sample on the return stroke, preventing contact with the blade edge. Enhances section quality and extends blade life.
