No – the microtome base plates of both series have different dimensions and are not compatible with each other.

The antistatic waste tray is made from resistant antistatic material to avoid debris sticking to the walls of the tray.

Yes – only in the combination blade holder and 2-in-1 blade holder.

1. Small section waste tray
2. Large section waste tray
3. Top tray – HistoCore RM top tray is 40% larger than the RM22xx series tray
4. Cooling Device – too small to be placed on instrument top. However, it’s still good to place next to the instrument

Convenience and ease-of-user – users can select their personal preference of coarse feed wheel turn direction. This feature is preserved from the RM22xx series, allowing users to trim at the high pace.

The return speed of the object head from front to home position has been reduced from 26 seconds (older series) to 13 seconds (new series). This accelerated speed helps to shorten the sectioning process each time the object head is returned to home position.

When batch trimming and using the same height of blocks, Memory Position will help to accelerate the sectioning.
