Feather S35 Microtome Blade - Low Profile
The Feather S35 is a premium disposable microtome blade designed for routine histopathology work. Manufactured by Feather Safety Razor Co., Ltd. in Japan, these low-profile blades are the industry standard for thin sectioning of paraffin-embedded tissue blocks.
Precision Engineering for Quality Sections
Each S35 blade is engineered from high-alloy stainless steel and features a triple-sharpened edge. The edge is reinforced with platinum sputtering and a specialized resin (PTFE-based) coating. This combination significantly reduces friction during sectioning, allowing for smooth, continuous ribbons and high-quality sections without distortion.
Key Benefits
- Universal Compatibility: Fits most standard low-profile microtome blade holders.
- Durability: The platinum sputtered edge maintains sharpness for longer periods, even when sectioning multiple specimens.
- Friction-Free: Resin coating ensures specimen blocks glide over the blade with minimal resistance.
Recommended Use
The Feather S35 is optimized for routine tissue sectioning. For harder specimens or specialized ribboning, it sits as a versatile middle-ground between the R35 and N35 models. If you have questions about which blade is right for your lab, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance.
