Feather Disposable Microtome Blades The Feather Autopsy, Trimming and Dissection range is internationally renowned for its sharpness and versatility. Made from stainless steel, each blade is heat treated and finely ground in three stages to produce a precise cutting edge. The blades are then specially coated to minimize friction and maximize blade longevity. A variety of blades are available, each suited to a particular application or tissue type: Feather S35 – A low profile blade for all routine sectioning. Feather R35 – Enables easier ribboning. Ideal for hard fibrous tissue. Feather N35 – Suitable for hard tissue and for thin sectioning. Feather A35 – For routine sectioning of soft and hard tissue. Also suited for thinner sections. Feather S22 – For cutting soft tissue and obtaining extremely thin sections. Ideal for skin, lymph node and renal biopsies. Feather S35L – A longer 120 mm version of the Feather S35 to facilitate the cutting of larger blocks normally on a sledge or sliding microtome. Feather S35LL – A longer 180 mm version of the Feather S35 to facilitate the cutting of very large blocks. A sliding microtome is required to use this blade. Feather C35 – A disposable carbon steel blade ideally suited for sectioning in a cryostat. Able to shear very thin frozen sections. Feather S35 High Profile – Twice the depth of the Feather S35 (requiring a specific High Profile blade holder). Suitable for all routine sectioning. With the exception of the C35 Blade, it is recommended to trim in all Feather microtome blades to improve blade longevity. During trimming‑in of the blade, care must be taken not to damage the surface coating, as this can cause scoring. Available in packs of 50. CODE
