MX35 Ultra™

The MX35 Ultra™ microtome blades offer high consistency, impressive durability, dependability, and precise performance. Their proprietary manufacturing process employs a revolutionary blade coating system shown to increase the strength and durability of microtome blades. Whilst the steel hardening technology offers outstanding cutting performance and longevity.

“The SLEE Plasma Blades are more durable than any other blade we have used before. We have found we have been ordering blades less often since using the SLEE LPH Blades as each blade is lasting much longer during sectiong and therefore we’re not going through as many, as quickly. It has also meant we also have had longer periods of time for continuous workflow without having to constantly change the blade.”
