Product description

Precision ultramicrotome for ultrathin sections (10 nm–15 µm) with motorized stages and cryo capabilities.

The Leica Ultracut UCT is a precision ultramicrotome designed for producing ultrathin sections essential for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other high-resolution imaging techniques. This instrument enables researchers to prepare sections ranging from 10 nanometres to 15 micrometres in thickness, facilitating detailed examination of specimen ultrastructure.

Key features include:

  • Motorised knife stages: Enhance precision and ease of use, allowing for consistent sectioning.
  • Adjustable cutting speeds: Range from 0.05 mm/sec to 100 mm/sec, accommodating various sample types.
  • Temperature control: Supports sectioning at temperatures as low as -175°C, ideal for cryo-sectioning applications.
  • User-friendly interface: Simplifies operation, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.

The Leica Ultracut UCT is widely utilised in fields such as materials science, cancer research, and biological sciences, where precise sample preparation is critical for electron microscopy analysis. It is commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical environments.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the Leica Ultracut UCT has been a reliable tool in scientific research for over two decades. Its enduring presence underscores Leica Microsystems' commitment to innovation and quality in the realm of ultramicrotomy.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
