The Diamond Trimming Tool:
cryotrim 20 and cryotrim 45
For successful ultramicrotomy in biology and materials science, precise trimming is mandatory.
The Diatome trimming blades cryotrim 45 and cryotrim 20 will fulfil all your trimming requirements, allowing quick, easy and accurate trimming.
Due to the extreme sharpness of our diamond blades, less mechanical damage is applied to the sample during trimming.
Very shiny sample faces and precise sides are the result.
The CryoTrim 45 produces pyramidal sides with an inclined angle of 45° and the CryoTrim 20 produces pyramidal sides with an inclined angle of 20°.
ultratrim 30 and 40
Ultratrim for the trimming of epoxy and acrylic embeddings as well as polymers and non-ferrous metals is now available either wet or dry in both 3.0 and 4.0mm .
ultratrim 45
Increase the service time of your ultra diamond knives by trimming your sample blocks with the new ultratrim 45
The diamond blade for room temperature trimming biological and industrial samples
- Rapid and precise trimming
- Shiny block faces and pyramidal sides
- Sample surface aligned with the cutting direction
- Durable cutting edge
Area of application
- Biological and industrial samples in Epoxy or Acrylate resins
- Rigid polymers
- Metals such as aluminium, copper, bronze, tin, lead, etc (ask us for other materials to be trimmed)
For successful ultramicrotomy in biology and materials science, precise trimming is mandatory. The Diatome ultratrim 45 will fulfil your trimming requirements, allowing quick, easy and accurate trimming.
Trimming with the ultratrim 45 improves the service time of your ultra diamond knives. (When trimming resin blocks with glass knives or razor blades hard particles may easily be introduced in the resin. These particles immediately cause knife marks in the ultra 35° and ultra 45° knives).
Specification
The ultratrim 45 fits in all ultramicrotomes
Knife angle: 45°Inclined side facets: 45°.
