Microtome disposable blade

Microtome disposable blades which are aimed to section the specimens at certain stable thickness require technical expertise such as sophisticated heating process, excellent polishing and coating techniques.
It is also required to maintain the high quality under precise controls with inspection instruments.
Muto’s HISTO CUTTER is the product of advanced technologies.

Features of Muto’s disposable blade

1.HISTO CUTTER easily enables to produce thin sections with a number of paraffin blocks.
With a special coating for the blades it performs without scratches on the specimens for long.
Average number of slices per Blade with 3 micron is 30slices.

2.HISTO CUTTER enables thin sectioning with hard tissues.
It performs well for the myoma of the uterus, the prostate, the mammary gland, the thyroid gland, the bronchial bones, etc.

3.HISTO CUTTER performs to maintain the original shape of specimen
With less friction at sectioning the paraffin sections are maintained almost same size of blocks.

4.With less friction at sectioning the paraffin sections are maintained almost same size of blocks.
Thanks to special manufacturing it helps to reduce the curling of sections. Thus it helps to attach the sections onto the slids.

About our Quality Control

Quality Control is executed with using various inspection instruments.

Scanning Microscope

Blade edge measurement: Blade edge is continuously controlled.

X-ray Diffract Meter

Measurement of the austenite: Remained austenite is continuously measured for sharp and durable blade.

Fluorescence X-rays

Sputtering thickness is measured for the durability management.

Atomic Force Microscope

Material ingredient measurement (with fluorescence-X-rays equipment)is carried out for the incoming material.
