The cryo 35° knife has demonstrated its usefulness as a standard knife for the low temperature sectioning of polymers, rubber, paints, etc. The 35° angle represents a balanced compromise between section quality and durability.
The cryo 35°(dry) and cryo 45°(dry) knives are mounted in the triangular holder is suitable for dry cryosectioning.
The cryo 35°(wet) and cryo 45°(wet) knives are mounted in the trough are used for sectioning with fluids such as a DMSO/water mixture.
