EZ-Slicer & Katana – Precision Micro-Sectioning Tools

High-precision manual sectioning tools for creating ultra-thin cross-sections of polymers, fibers, and multi-layered materials

Product Overview

The S.T. Japan EZ-Slicer and Katana systems represent the next generation of manual micro-sampling. These tools are designed for laboratories that require high-quality cross-sections for IR or Raman mapping but do not have access to an automated microtome. The EZ-Slicer utilizes a precision-guided blade system to produce slices as thin as 10 microns from a wide variety of soft and semi-hard materials.The Katana series focuses on extreme precision, using specialized high-carbon steel blades to achieve surgical-grade cuts. These tools are essential for the analysis of laminates, where understanding the thickness and composition of individual layers is critical for quality control. Their portable, benchtop design makes them a versatile addition to any spectroscopy lab, significantly reducing the time required for sample preparation

Key Features

  • Micron-Level Precision: Produces uniform slices for high-resolution mapping.
  • Easy Operation: Simplified manual mechanism requires minimal training.
  • Interchangeable Blades: Optimized blades for different material hardnesses.
  • No Embedding Required: Analyzes samples in their native state.
  • Compact Footprint: Ideal for crowded laboratory benches
