EXAKT Cutting, Grinding & Thin Section Technology
The EXAKT thin section cutting technology is a combined system for targeted cutting and treatment of highly sensitive materials.
Our technology offers precise cutting and sectioning for a wide range of applications: From medicine and implantology, industry, ceramics and metallic materials, to sensitive hard/soft combinations in cancer research or composites in R&D.
Our customers achieve material thicknesses down to 100 µm using the EXAKT thin section cutting technology - without damaging the composition,surface, or structure of the material. Furthermore, choosing a reduced energy input prevents deformations, squeezing or stresses to the material during processing. The sample information content always remains intact. At the same time the risk of injury is minimal for operators!

The pathology saw EXAKT 312 and the laboratory saw EXAKT 302 were specifically developed to meet the requirements in pathology and anatomy labs and departments. Due to the excellent surface quality of the cutting surface, an initial assessment of the section can be carried out without further processing. The high cutting quality also applies to bones with implants. Using a diamond cutting band allows for thin cuts by hand and without any risk of cutting to the operator. The straightforward and application-oriented design ensures easy cleaning and disinfection after use.
Grinding System
Micro Grinder 400 CS
Coplanar tolerance - precise down to the μ
Vacuum mounting for different sample slide sizes
Highly precise measuring sensor for precise setting of material removal in steps down to the μ
Gentle and controlled removal through gravimetric setting of grinding force
Homogenous grind thanks to continuously adjustable oscillation of the sample in combination with grinding disk speed
Integrated water rinsing in vacuum head
Variety of abrasive and polishing papers (backing material and grit), suitable for your application
Create μ-accurate and reproducible plane-parallel thin sections with the EXAKT 400 CS grinder. Our precise measuring technology allows you to accurately set the required material removal. The grinding and polishing processes are achieved with an accuracy of less than 5 μm depending on the selected type and fineness of the sandpaper. Follow the EXAKT sample preparation system to determine the adhesive layer thickness of the embedded samples fixed to slides. In combination with the EXAKT 400CS grinder, this process allows the safe production of thin sections down to 10 μm thickness.
