Histo / Histo Jumbo Diamond Knife
The histo knife is designed for the sectioning of hard and soft biological and material research specimens, non embedded or embedded in acrylic or epoxy resins. Our histo knives can be used on all ultramicrotomes as well as on microtomes with a retraction of the specimen arm in the return phase.
Manufacturer
DiATOME
DiATOME have been developing and manufacturing diamond knives since 1970. The DiATOME knives are the only knives that can cut all types of materials from biological to materials (hard and soft alike).
Histo Jumbo
The large Jumbo boat as well as the adhesive (Pattex compact by Henkel) applied to the upper side of the sample block increase the distinct advantages of our histo knives.
They allow:
- easy production of section ribbons (0.5 – 2 µm)
- no section loss
- no folding
- the same orientation of all sections
- easy collection of section ribbons
- multiple ribbons on one glass slide
- perfect for immuno-histo-chemistry
Quality Guarantee
Before delivery, each knife, new or re-sharpened, is subject to extensive testing. We can therefore guarantee perfect sectioning (in the respective thickness range) over the entire cutting edge.
