High-profile vs. low-profile blades🔬 Which do you prefer?

While high-profile blades offer added rigidity for dense, fibrous, and frozen tissues, low-profile blades are often favored for routine sectioning and delicate biopsies. But does blade profile really change the result?

Read our latest HistoHints as we compare blade profiles, applications, and performance to help you find the right fit for your workflow: https://statlab.com/statcontent/highprofile-vs-lowprofile-blades-does-the-choice-change-the-result-/

Last week, the StatLab team traveled to Canada for the Thermo Fisher Scientific CA Vendor Show, where we had the opportunity to connect with professionals from hospital labs, university labs, and more across the region.

We showcased our full portfolio that supports the entire laboratory workflow, but KT Slides were a clear standout. Many attendees were searching for solutions to adhesion challenges with their current slides, making KT Slides a key topic of discussion throughout the event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. It was great to connect with you, introduce you to StatLab solutions, and discuss ways we can help address your lab's current needs.

Which microtome blade actually performs best?

In robust durability testing, PolyCut Plus outperformed nine standard blades — maintaining consistent performance beyond 500 sections while competitor blades declined over time.

The recent study also highlights why labs are making the switch:
✔ Long-lasting durability
✔ Reliable performance across tissue types
✔ Smooth sectioning with fewer defects
✔ Reduced costs without compromising quality
