Section Transfer System™ (STS)

Sections flow directly from rotary microtome to water bath preventing wrinkling or curling of sections or ribbons.

Eliminates manual transfer of the sections into a water bath
Adjustable water flow rate avoids tissue section damage, allowing for more usable sections per block
Specially designed disposable blade holder supports the transfer ramp
Illuminated, aluminum water bath enhances section visibility
User-selectable water temperature from ambient temperature up to +50 °C
