Trim your biological and industrials samples prior to ultramicrotomy fast and accurately with the EM RAPID high-speed milling system. The versatile specimen trimming device can be used for TEM, SEM and LM application and has also proven its use in pharmaceutical research where samples can be prepared for analysis of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) distribution on solid-dose pharmaceuticals without smearing.
Your benefits when working with the EM RAPID specimen trimming device
Control the feed for the milling cutter by selecting step sizes of 0.1, 1, 10, or 100 µm
Define the milling speed between 300 and 20,000 rpm
Easily approach to your sample with the auto-feed function
Accurate milling thanks to the perpendicular viewing of the embedded sample block
Safe working environment due to the low-noise extraction system with HEPA filter
Prepare exact parallel block-face edges
Easily trim exact parallel block-face edges every time for your TEM and array tomography application with the EM RAPID specimen trimming device. Attain straight ribbon arrays thanks to the raster positions of the specimen arm, which ensure exact 90° corners for any desired block-face size, making downstream sectioning as easy as possible. The EM RAPID is the perfect partner for your EM UC7 or ARTOS 3D ultramicrotome and ensures easy high quality sample sectioning.
Exact parallel block-face angles
Perfect 90° corners for any desired block-face size
Tungsten carbide and diamond milling heads
Constantly monitor your sample material
With the EM RAPID milling system the unnecessary removal of sample material is eliminated through constant monitoring at all times during sample preparation.
