Encore® Disposable Microtome Blades by DURAEDGE®

The sharpest, most durable microtome blade ever made.

To properly observe a specimen under a microscope, an ultra-thin section must be made. These days obtaining that section is easy compared to three hundred years ago when scientist used razor blades to make sections. Of course they quickly learned that they needed something far better and sharper. Fast forward three hundred years and we have high quality microtome blades that can cut sections from 0.05 to 100 µm! Now the only confusing part is that with so many microtome blades on the market, which disposable microtome blade is the right fit for your lab?

Discover the performance you demand, with the new Encore low-profile microtome blades by DURAEDGE®. When you compare Encore® microtome blades with blades from other leading competitors, you'll discover how the smallest difference can make a tremendous impact on the quality of your cuts. Encore® is the only brand on the market to offer a full 80mm of usable cutting edge. With this full 80mm, you can easily cut up to three standard block widths (24mm) without overlapping. To enhance sharpness, Encore® microtome blades are made with an ultra-thin gauge (.010") of steel, which allows the Encore® microtome blades to achieve a more acute or steeper angle. Each Encore® microtome blade is also uniformly coated with a special proprietary PTFE application process to enhance the blade's durability. The result is longer-lasting, durable blades that can provide consistent, usable sections time after time. The Encore® microtome blades are also shown to provide 25-35% more cuts than the leading competitor's blade, which in turn improves productiveness and saves time and money in the long run.
