Diamond knife, Histo Cryo Dry, 45 deg.

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. (Ref. Reymond). 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.

Our histo cryo knives are delivered with a boat for wet sectioning using a DMSO/water mixture or in triangular holders for dry sectioning. They are made from a special copper-nickel alloy, which guarantees the best possible thermal conduction.

** Resharpened DiATOME knives undergo the same stringent optical checking and sectioning tests as new knives.  If you are wanting a re-sharpened service, you will post your old knife to us and we will send away to our supplier.   Lead time ~ 6-10 weeks from receipt of your knife.
