Microtome Blades, Holders, and Supplies
Microtome
Blade Holders
Stainless Steel, Disposable Microtome Blade Holders which fit most microtomes and cryostats. If you are looking for a system that combines the quality cutting characteristics of reusable blades with the convenience and consistency of disposable ones our blade holders are your answer.
Our blade holders are:
Versatile - The holders are designed to readily accommodate blades of differing thickness. Such adaptability allows the histologist maximum flexibility especially when difficult tissues are encountered.
Durable - Because we use the highest quality stainless steel and the most advanced manufacturing processes, these blade holders are less susceptible to nicks and normal wear and tear.
Convenient - Insert, clamp, adjust the angle, and cut. That's all it takes.
Universal - For the first time, the quality and convenience of disposable blades are available for all rotary microtomes and cryostats - Even the popular Miles Tissue Tek(TM) (adapter required).

Disposable
Microtome Blades; Stainless Steel
The quality of sectioning depends on the quality of the blade being used.
With sharp durable edges, our blades represent a new standard in sectioning
quality.
Our blades are available in three different types:
- Standard Blade
For routine tissue samples, the standard blade offers an unsurpassed level of quality at an affordable price. - Premium Blade
When more difficult specimens are encountered, simply switch to our premium type- a heavy duty blade which allows you to achieve ribbons of unsurpassed quality. - The Edge
Years of research went into choosing the optimum stainless steel and edge combination. Repeated testing was performed by histologists to assure that SHUR/SHARP blades represent the ultimate in consistency for sectioning technology. Chatterless and compression free ribbons will become routine no matter what the tissue is.
