Automated Microtomy & Glass Mounting

Eliminate the Microtomy Bottleneck
The Robotome is engineered to address one of the most labour-intensive and variable stages in histopathology workflows.

• 100 slides/hour per Robotome
• Up to 500 slides/hour per user (multi-unit control)
• 30–45 minute processing cycles
• 2–4 hour reduction in turnaround time per shift

Its cluster-based operation model allows a single operator to control multiple units simultaneously, significantly enhancing productivity without increasing staffing requirements.

Consistency You Can Trust in Cancer Diagnostics
Accurate diagnostics depend on high-quality slides. The Robotome incorporates multiple innovations to ensure consistency:

• Adaptive blade management – automatic detection and switching of worn blades
• Continuous blade chilling – reduces compression and artefacts
• Uniform block chilling – prevents chipping during facing
• Real-time slide QC scanning – detects defects immediately post-sectioning
• Water-based section handling system – eliminates cross-contamination risks

These capabilities make the system particularly suited to oncology and diagnostic histopathology environments, where precision is critical.

Digital, Connected & Traceable
The Robotome integrates directly into modern laboratory environments:

• Full LIS/LIMS integration for automated workflow control
• Barcode tracking (1D & 2D) for complete slide-to-block traceability
• Automated protocol selection based on block data
• Remote operation capability for distributed laboratory teams

This ensures end-to-end traceability and compliance, supporting quality assurance in accredited laboratories.

Designed for Real-World Lab Environments
The system is compatible with standard consumables and workflows:

• Supports standard histology blocks (15mm–36mm)
• Compatible with 25 x 75 mm slides
• Uses standard microtomy blades
• Handles diverse sample types—from GI biopsies to uterine tissue

Importantly, the Robotome requires no new consumables, helping laboratories maintain cost control while upgrading automation.

A Smarter Approach to Histopathology Automation

• Reduced manual blade handling enhances operator safety
• Automated processes minimise user variability
• Extended blade life improves cost efficiency
• Compact footprint uses up to 2x less space

By automating repetitive and technically demanding tasks, the Robotome allows histotechnologists to focus on higher-value activities.
