Ultra Sonic Diamond Knife
The patented ultra sonic knife allows the cutting of ultrathin sections free of compression. With correct setting of frequency and amplitude, the sections become as long as the height of the sample. Best results are not only achieved with biological samples, but also with polymers.
Key Features
- Thinner sections
- No compression
- Best structure preservation
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).
We have tested the ultra sonic knife with the following samples:
- Biological samples in Epon, Araldite, EM Bed, etc.
- Biological samples in acrylic resins (Lowicryl, LR White).
- Rigid polymers such as PS, PMMA, ABS, HIPS, modified PP, blends of various kind
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.
