DiATOME® histo Diamond Knives

Available for sale in U.S.A. only


histo

The histo knife is designed for the sectioning of hard and soft biological and material research specimens, non-embedded or embedded in acrylic or epoxy resins.

histo cryo

The histo cryo knives are delivered with a boat for wet sectioning using a DMSO/water mixture or with a triangular holder for dry sectioning.

histo Jumbo

The perfect knife for immunohistochemistry. For 3D reconstruction, it is imperative not to lose a single section. Apply contact adhesive to the leading face of the pyramid to help sections form uniform ribbons, ensuring no folding or section loss. The histo Jumbo  knife boat is wide enough to dip a glass slide, allowing for multiple ribbons on each slide to be collected.
