Development, Manufacturing and Customer Service since 1970

What have we achieved in this period?
  • Utra 45° the first diamond knife with an absolutely score-free, hydrophilic cutting edge.
  • Semi the first diamond knife for alternating sectioning ultrathin/semithin.
  • Cryo the diamond knife for sectioning at low temperature.
  • Histo the first diamond knife for semithin sections for light microscopy.
  • Ultra 35° the diamond knife for optimized sectioning results in almost all applications.
  • STATIC LINE II the ionizer for eliminating electrostatic charging in ultramicrotomy.
  • Cryo-P a cryo knife with a patented platform for section pick up.
  • Cryo immuno the optimized cryo diamond knife for the Tokuyasu technique.
  • Ultra sonic the oscillating diamond knife for room temperature sectioning.
  • Cryotrim 45 and 25 optimizing trimming with diamond blades.
  • Ultra AFM & cryo AFM the first diamond knives for AFM at room and low temperatures.
  • Cryo 25° for sectioning frozen hydrated specimens.
