The Crescent Encore microtome blade is manufactured to the highest standards for sharpness, consistency and durability. Crescent's proprietary process for hardened stainless steel ensures the quality of each finely honed and polished blade to give you a flaw-free edge. Uniform PTFE coating reduces friction, eliminates striations and compression, and requires no break-in period.
This blade is unique in that the cutting edge is a full 80mm. With this full 80mm cutting surface you can easily cut up to 3 standard block widths (24mm) without overlapping. Customers who have used the blade report they can produce quality, consistent cuts for as many as 25-35% more turns per blade than the leading competitors.
The Crescent Encore blade is equivalent to the Sakura Tissue-Tek AccuEdge microtome blade.
Capable of sectioning tissue for biopsies in ultra-thin sections, Encore blades gives you unsurpassed precision in the lab. Made in the USA.
