Introducing Sapphire Pathology Blades

Microtome Blades Made in USA

Our new SAPPHIRE® blades offer advantages that will help simplify the sectioning process.

SAPPHIRE® low and high profile blades are manufactured to optimum thickness and precise edge geometry so they can be used without the need to make angle adjustments.

The patented coating achieves quality ribbons in fewer cuts, saving time and extending blade life.  A no-hole design creates the strongest and most precise blade possible.
