Leica 818 Microtome Blades High Profile Sectioning

As premium high profile microtome blades, they are engineered to solve common pain points in routine microtomy, including uneven section thickness, section curling, blade chatter, and excessive edge wear. Compatible with Leica and most leading rotary microtome models, these blades are the gold standard for professional labs that require artifact-free, high-quality tissue sections to support accurate diagnostic reporting and reproducible research results.

Key Benefits

Precision Honed Cutting Edge for Artifact-Free Sections

Every one of our histology microtome blades features a precision ground and polished cutting edge, crafted to deliver ultra-uniform sections across the full blade length. With the ability to cut consistent sections ranging from ultra-thin 0.5μm slices up to thicker 100μm sections, these blades eliminate knife marks, curling, and tissue distortion, ensuring optimal staining and imaging results for every slide.

High Profile Design for Versatile Sample Handling

The high profile geometry of our Leica 818 Microtome Blades is optimized for processing a wide range of sample sizes and tissue types, including large whole-mount tissue blocks, core needle biopsies, and fibrous or calcified specimens. This design maximizes cutting depth flexibility and ensures full compatibility with most standard rotary microtomes used in modern lab environments.

Premium Material Construction for Extended Blade Life

Manufactured from high-grade medical stainless steel, these blades offer exceptional corrosion resistance and edge retention, even when processing challenging tissue types. The durable construction extends blade service life, reducing frequent blade changes, cutting down on consumable costs, and boosting overall lab throughput in high-volume sectioning workflows.
