SliceMaster by Jasco
Sample Preparation Tools

precision cutting from 10-200µm



SliceMaster Micro Sample Preparation Tools are compact instruments that can easily cut thin sections from 10 to 200µm. These thinly sliced specimens may be viewed with a microscope. These instruments are simple to set-up for thin section preparation for specimens such as polypropylene bottles and multi-layer paper cartons. This product was originally designed for cutting specimens for FTIR analysis but is useful for many other applications. 

The SliceMaster is available in three blade angles: vertical, angled and multi-angled. The TS-10 Pellet Slicer is for irregular sized pellets, seeds, caplets and tablets. All of the SliceMaster tools use double-edge or single edge razor blades. 




 

HS-1 Vertical Slicer

The HS-1 Vertical Slicer can vertically cut samples such as polypropylene bottles into 100 to 500µm sections, multi-layer paper cartons from 100 to 600µm sections, and PET samples from 150 to 400µm sections. Items such as polyester or other polymers can be sliced with a variable thickness of 100µm or greater.

Feather Razor Blade for Vibratome use

Feather® Blades

Carbon steel; sharp edges. Break in half lengthwise for use (protect fingers and use eye protection). This is the preferred cutting blade for use with the PELCO easiSlicer™. Ideally suited for use with Microslicer™, Vibratome® and other vibratory slicers. Excellent when used as is (unbroken) in McIlwain Tissue Chopper.
