Slide 4003 E Electronic Microtome: Precision, Safety, and Smoothness for Histological Sectioning

The Slide 4003 E from PFM Medical is a next-generation electronic sliding microtome, engineered to meet the most demanding requirements for paraffin tissue sectioning. Designed for use in routine laboratories, scientific research, and the biomedical industry, this microtome delivers outstanding performance thanks to its precision mechanics and optimized ergonomics.

Its standout feature is the horizontal and vertical cross-roller bearing system, completely free of backlash and vibrations. This technology ensures exceptionally smooth motion during sectioning, significantly reducing operator fatigue—even during intensive use. Object movement, slicing mode, and retraction are electronically controlled via a silent stepper motor, offering micron-level precision and full control.

The Slide 4003 E features a built-in side-mounted keypad, enabling intuitive access to sectioning parameters, retraction settings, and the memory function. Specific cutting positions can be stored and easily recalled, with real-time tracking available through an integrated LCD counter—optimizing reproducibility and safety in all cutting protocols.

Operator safety is a top priority. The instrument includes integrated finger protection on the knife holder, as well as a removable safety shield to prevent contamination of sensitive areas. Maintenance is simple, thanks to a hard-wearing anodized aluminum surface that is easy to clean and highly resistant to wear.

The Slide 4003 E also offers valuable modularity. It supports various clamp types—universal cassette or standard specimen clamps—available in orientable versions. The quick-release system allows instant adaptation to different sample types, up to a maximum size of 45 × 60 mm, depending on the clamp used.

With a compact footprint (320 × 420 × 270 mm), optimized weight of 21 kg, and universal power supply (100–240 V), the Slide 4003 E is a reliable, precise, and safe solution for laboratories seeking high-quality sectioning with operational efficiency.
