SHURCut™ Microtomes
SC4500
The SHURCut Series of microtomes are designed to meet the day-to-day sectioning needs of histology labs. This series is our most affordable option for producing reliable, consistent results that ensure the best possible diagnosis. Ergonomic Design for Comfort and Ease of Use Each model has unique features designed for operator ease and comfort. An easy to use handpad features an intuitive display with a color LED layout and icons; and can be positioned on either the right or left side of the microtome with equal success. Full Operator Control At Your Fingertips User-friendly instrument panel provides precise control of sectioning and trimming functions, START/STOP functions and allows for easy switchover between preset trimming and sectioning modes. Revolutions are displayed and automatically reset when switching modes. Specimen Positioning Memory Function Automates Workflow The SC3500 & SC4500 models include an automatic specimen position memory function that allows the user to remove a block, and with a push of a button after re-inserting the block, the electronic memory will reposition the specimen back to the original location. Microprocessor Control For Precise Cutting All three models feature microprocessor management of specimen advance, return, trim and sectioning. The SC4500 model allows the operator to switch between manual, continuous and single-stroke cutting modes at the push of a button. Product Specifications:
