Cutting Precision and Optimised Safety in Histology: the Leica DB80 LS Blade
The Leica DB80 LS microtome blade is a high-quality cutting tool specifically designed to meet the requirements of medical laboratories specialising in basic histology. It is particularly suitable for routine thin sections of soft tissues and frozen samples, which are essential in the histopathological diagnostic process, particularly in cancer screening and monitoring.
With its low profile and premium rounded corners, the DB80 LS offers a secure and comfortable grip, reducing the risk of injury when replacing the blade. Its 35° angle optimises sharpness while minimising resistance, enabling clean, reproducible cuts that are essential for obtaining histological slides of consistent quality. Each blade is coated with a layer of hard metal for greater durability and a sliding coating to reduce friction, promoting a smooth and efficient workflow.
The DB80 LS is manufactured in Germany using a precision grinding process that guarantees a sharp cutting edge and consistent performance. This blade is not only compatible with Leica cryostats, such as the CM1950, but also with many other cutting systems used in laboratories around the world.
Designed to meet the demanding standards of in vitro diagnostics, the DB80 LS is part of Leica Biosystems' mission to improve cancer diagnostics and optimise laboratory practices. Its use enables histology technicians to produce consistent, high-quality sections, facilitating accurate staining and, as a result, reliable diagnostic results.
The DB80 LS is a reliable cutting solution for all professionals who demand precision, safety and consistent quality in the handling of histological samples.
