EM RAPID is a high-speed milling system for trimming biological and industrial samples prior to ultramicrotomy, supporting TEM, SEM, and light microscopy workflows. It is also used in pharmaceutical research to prepare solid-dose tablets for analysis of API distribution without smearing.
Key Features
- Drive controlled approach to your area of interest with selectable feed step sizes of 0.1, 1, 10, or 100 µm.
- Adapt trimming to different materials using a variable milling speed range of 300 to 20,000 rpm.
- Reduce rework during trimming with perpendicular viewing of the embedded sample block using the swivelling function to judge distance to the area of interest without removing the sample.
- Support downstream sectioning and array tomography by trimming exact parallel block-face edges and achieving 90° corners for the desired block-face size.
- Improve lab cleanliness during milling with a low-noise extraction system with HEPA filter.
- Increase tablet-prep efficiency for pharma applications with the multiple-pill holder for preparing and investigating several tablets simultaneously.
- Choose tooling for your trimming task with tungsten carbide and diamond milling heads.
