Do you need to produce thin or ultra-thin sections for EM sample preparation?
Introducing UC Enuity, the next generation ultramicrotome that saves you valuable time and resources through its automated setup functions, providing state-of-the-art sectioning quality.
The UC Enuity Cryo is a fully outfitted ultramicrotome for basic room temperature ultramicrotomy applications as well as advanced cryoultramicrotomy applications. It includes an antistatic device as well as a dual micromanipulator system to facilitate Tokuyasu and CEMOVIS applications. The system can also be upgraded for more advanced room temperature applications such as automated trimming and alignment, automated serial sectioning for VolumeEM or automated trimming guided by microCT data.
The UC Enuity Advanced is a fully outfitted ultramicrotome for advanced room temperature ultramicrotomy applications. It features an integrated camera and motorized segment arc and knife block to enable fully automated trimming of samples and automatic alignment of the knife to the sample. The UC Enuity Advanced can be upgraded for further room temperature applications such as automated serial sectioning for VolumeEM or automated trimming guided by microCT data, or for cryosectioning applications with the addition of the cryo chamber.

I had the opportunity to use the new UC Enuity, and I was particularly impressed by the motorized knife block and segment arc. These features enable precise adjustment of small angles and allow for accurate rotation of the sample by setting a defined degree. Another notable feature is the Auto-Trim function, which is especially helpful for beginners who may struggle with aligning the sample to the knife. While experienced users might align the sample faster manually, the Auto-Trim function can still save time, allowing them to focus on other tasks. The new UC Enuity will simplify the cutting process.
UC Enuity allows you to monitor the fluorescence signal during sectioning at both room temperature and in cryo conditions.

Make every section count for volume EM experiments
Speed up your volume EM research with UC Enuity. Prepare uniform, ultra-thin and thin ribbons for your array tomography experiments, at reduced risk of losing precious sections.
You can collect uniformly aligned ultra-thin sections straight on the wafer, for fast and reliable transfer into the electron microscope.
Three consecutive ribbons for Array Tomography, 30 sections each, 70 nm feed. The ribbons were prepared with UC Enuity Volume EM module. After automatically cutting the ribbons, UC Enuity added two release cuts of 100 nm thickness at the end of each ribbon.
