Sakura AccuCut SRM300LT manual microtome
If you’re in the market for a microtome, look no further than the Sakura AccuCut SRM300LT. This unit has a patented multi-colored LED backlit chuck to illuminate paraffin embedded tissue samples making them much easier to see and safer to section. The backlight increases contrast between specimens and paraffin so users can see exactly where the tissue is located to prevent cutting through a small biopsy or previously sectioned block. The Accu-Cut SRM 300 LT features a 3D Precision Chuck for accurate alignment of the block face to the blade on all three axes (XYZ), which is crucial for recuts. The sturdy chuck retains its position when locked and unlocked, eliminating any time and effort spent realigning the cutting angle. The 3D Precision Chuck can quickly and accurately be returned to a zero position with the dial indicators. Click here for pictures, a video, and more specifications.

Eppendorf 5920R benchtop centrifuge
Wow, are we excited about this model! The Eppendorf 5920R centrifuge delivers extraordinarily high capacity in a very compact and ergonomic product design. It has similar dimensions as competing refrigerated 3 Liter models and yet features a superior capacity of up to 4 × 1,000 mL standard bottles, 28 × PCR plates or 196 × 13 mm round-bottom tubes, or 52 × 50 mL conical tubes thus making it the ideal instrument for high-throughput applications. (Various rotors required to accommodate all these capacities.) Eppendorf developed the Dynamic Compressor Control (DCC). Unlike other compressors which switch back and forth between 0 % and 100 % performance output, DCC allows for a constant and smooth temperature regulation. This results in a precise cooling performance and the set temperature is kept stable at all times. Click here for pictures, a video, and more specifications.
Miele PG8583 laboratory glassware washer
The Miele PG 8583 Laboratory Glassware Washer includes steam condenser, stainless steel interior and exterior, powder detergent dispenser and liquid acid neutralizer dispensing. The Miele PG8583 features the efficient use of resources with a variable speed heater pump; safety through wash pressure and spray arm monitoring; and convenient drying support with EcoDry. At the end of the reprocessing program the machine door opens automatically as soon as the temperature in the wash cabinet has fallen below 158°F, thanks to the AutoOpen function. This allows residual moisture to escape easily from the wash cabinet and the washed items dry more quickly. Click here for more details.
