The blades and knifes consumables are for use with microtomes and cryostats. Microtomes and cryostats are devices used to produce consistent thickness slices of tissue samples, they are then mounted on glass slides, stained and typically examined by microscopy. Microtomes for light microscopy typically use disposable blades, to maintain the quality of the cut and thus the section quality. Therefore theymust be changed regularly. The frequency of changing depends on the number of sections cut, hardness of the tissue and appropriate use.
