  • The Classic Series low-profile disposable microtome blades / triple facet microtome blades are manufactured from high carbon stainless steel.
  • High-profile 818 disposable blades are made of stainless steel with exceptional durability. Ultrafine yet durable, the 80 mm long x 14 mm high x 0.35 mm thick blades are specifically designed for use with Leica Biosystems microtomes or cryostats classified and labelled as in vitro diagnostic medical devices for histological medical diagnosis, e.g. cancer diagnosis.
  • Low-profile 819 disposable blades are 80 mm long x 8 mm high x 0.25 mm thick. Made of stainless steel, the blades are ultra-fine yet durable and specifically designed for use with Leica Biosystems microtomes or cryostats classified and labelled as in vitro diagnostic medical devices for histological medical diagnosis, e.g. cancer diagnosis.
  • Cut the very thin sections needed for diagnostic clarity. The low-profile disposable blades DB80LS provide a new level of quality with a low-profile shape, a premium finish and edge-to-edge, blade-to-blade consistency.
  • The proprietary nature of the low-profile disposable blades DB80LX aids in cutting high quality, thin sections with even very difficult to section tissue including dense specimens. With select materials, sophisticated coating and an advanced profile, this blade quickly and efficiently allows you to section routine specimens, biopsies and dense tissues.
  • When your application calls for thicker sections, look to the high-profile disposable blades DB80HS with sharpness, longevity and consistency.
