Microtome Blades

Features and Benefits

  • Microtome blades designed for precise, consistent performance when sectioning tissue.
  • Choose from various dimensions and low-profile or high-profile options to best suit your microtome system and process.
  • All blades feature a 35° blade angle.
  • DuraEdge®: Engineered using a proprietary process for hardened stainless steel, ensuring finely honed blades with a flawless edge; capable of producing ultra-thin sections of tissue; uniform PTFE coating reduces friction, eliminates striations and compression, and requires no break-in period.
  • Encore™: Engineered to provide enhanced sharpness, easily cutting up to three blocks without overlapping; uniform PTFE coating reduces friction, eliminates striations and compression, and requires no break-in period.
  • Sapphire®: Engineered with a "no-hole" design for the strongest, most precise blade possible; optimum thickness and precise edge geometry eliminate the need for angle adjustments; patented coating produces quality ribbons in fewer cuts.
