Introducing the newAccuThrive® medical brand, AccuTec Blades® Inc. has published its 2021 histology catalog. The 2021 AccuThrive blades portfolio highlights a new line of microtome and gross dissection blades engineered via a proprietary grinding, heat treating, and coating formula that produces consistent high-performing products.

Specialized MicroCoat® Enrichment consists of polymer coatings that lend lubricity and resilience to the blade edge, preserving sharpness over long-term use. Agility, Longevity and Vitality microtome blades are all enriched with MicroCoat formulas to meet the application-specific needs of the histologist.  

In addition to a premium line of microtome blades, the AccuThrive® portfolio also highlights the many variations of gross dissection and trimming blades, coated and uncoated.

“AccuTec has a rich heritage of blade-making experience and expertise.  We have been setting industry standards since 1875 and are excited, once again, to lead the way with a high performing, long-lasting microtome blade that truly meets our customer needs and exceeds their expectations. Our AccuThrive® Longevity Blade has been engineered to provide a crystal clear section while reducing the frequency of blade change-out”, states Manny Lamazares, Global Vice President and General Manager of AccuTec’s Specialty Blade Division.  

Previous brands, such as Personna® and GEM®, will now be consolidated under the AccuThrive brand family.
