Sample preparation is an integral part of all disciplines of microscopy. For sample 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 surface protect tools and/or the lab bench. Standard laboratory bench surfaces are not always ideal for sample preparation and can be easily damaged with cutting tools. The Micro-Tec selection of preparation tiles, trimmimg boards and cutting mats offer a comprehensive choice of sample preparation surfaces for a wide range of applications:
- Micro-Tec PrepTile are highly polished black granite preparation tiles in 15x15cm and 30x30cm
- 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 glass plate with a size of 36x26cm
- Micro-Tec PrepMat selfhealing cutting mats in A5 and A4 formats for cutting and sample coring.
