Histopathology
Section clarity is critical for an accurate diagnosis. A microtome blade that introduces chatter, compression or nicks can obscure critical cellular details, forcing time-consuming recuts and delaying patient results. AccuThrive microtome blades are engineered to provide uniform ribboning, reduce compression and knife lines, while minimizing rolling of sections.
Blades For Histopathology
Microtome Blades
Our microtome blades are engineered with specialized coatings for distinct applications. This range provides solutions for soft-tissue, high-volume and frozen tissue sectioning.
#60 Autopsy Blade
Our largest surgical blade, the #60 is designed for autopsy and gross dissection, providing an optimal tool for large-scale tissue sectioning.
Trimming Blades
Our trimming blades are designed to be sharp and durable to meet your gross dissection needs.
The MicroCoat® Difference
Our commitment to blade excellence begins with our coated blades. All of our surgical, dermatology and histology blades have MicroCoat enrichment technology, a proprietary polymer that provides a microscopic, multi-layered cutting edge designed for a smooth and resistance-free incision.
AccuThrive Microtome Blades
Each of our blades has a proprietary MicroCoat enrichment technology specially formulated for the specific blade’s intended application.
