Preparation tiles, trimming boards and cutting mats
Specimen preparation is an integral part of all disciplines of microscopy. For specimens which have to cut, processed and prepared, it is imperative to work on a clean, smooth and contamination-free dedicated preparation surface, appropriate for the task at hand. Dedicated preparation surfaces protect your tools and/or the lab bench. Standard laboratory bench surfaces are not always ideal for specimen preparation and can be easily damaged with cutting tools. The Micro-Tec selection of preparation tiles, trimming boards and cutting mats offer a comprehensive choice of specimen preparation surfaces for a wide range of applications:
- Micro-Tec PrepTile are highly polished black granite preparation tiles in 15 x 15cm and 30 x 30cm
- Micro-Tec PrepBoard is a smooth and sturdy white polyethylene cutting board; size is 29.5 x 24.5cm
- Micro-tec PrepPlate is a smooth hardened clear glass plate with a size of 36 x 26cm
- Micro-Tec PrepMat are self-healing blue cutting mats in A5 and A4 formats for cutting and specimen coring.
