Sample Preparation Tiles, Trimming Boards and Cutting Mats
Overview
Sample preparation is an integral part of all disciplines of microscopy. For samples which have to be 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, trimming boards and cutting mats offer a comprehensive choice of sample preparation surfaces for a wide range of applications:
- Micro-Tec Prep Tile is a highly polished black granite preparation tiles in 15x15cm and 30x30cm
- Micro-Tec Prep Board is a smooth and sturdy white polyethylene cutting board; size is 29.5 x 24.5cm
- Micro-Tec Prep Plate is a smooth hardened glass plate with a size of 36x26cm
- Micro-Tec Prep Mat is a self-healing cutting mats in A5 and A4 formats for cutting and sample coring.

The Micro-Tec PrepTile 15 consists of a highly polished black granite preparation tile which provides a clean, smooth, level and hard preparation surface. The hardness of the granite is 7 on the Mohs scale. Suitable for wide range of microscopy sample preparation applications. Superior alternative to a glass plate. To protect the lab bench and to provide sliding, the back of the Micro-Tec PrepTile is covered with a sheet of rubber. The level top surface is also a suitable reference plane for measurements and assembly applications. Size of the Micro-Tec PrepTile 15 is 15x15cm with a thickness of 1.2cm.

The Micro-Tec PrepTile 30 consists of a highly polished black granite preparation tile which provides a clean, smooth, level and scratch resistant preparation surface. Suitable for wide range of microscopy sample preparation applications. The hardness of the granite is 7 on the Mohs scale. Can also be used for grinding and polishing to provide a flat support surface for grinding paper or polishing cloths; superior alternative to glass plates. To protect the lab bench and to prevent sliding, the back of the Micro-Tec PrepTile 30 is covered with a sheet of rubber. The level surface is also a suitable reference plane for measurements and assembly applications. Size of this Micro-Tec PrepTile is 30x30cm with a thickness of 1.2cm.

The Micro-Tec PrepPlate is a smooth, clear hardened glass to provide a clean support for general sample preparation applications. Made of soda lime float glass with good chemical resistance. Non-porous surface, which is easy to clean. Can also be used as a smooth surface for lapping and polishing applications as. Hardened glass is safer than standard float glass, since is breaks into small pieces instead of sharp shards when damaged. Can be used on both sides. Size of this Micro-Tec clear hardened glass PrepPlate is 36x26cm with a thickness of 0.5cm.
