We just exhibited 29th International Conference on High Pressure Science and Technology (AIRAPT-29) in Matsuyama, Japan.
Matsuyama is in the western part of Japan and it is famous for the oldest hot springs and traditional castle on the hill, and various tangerines.
We had a booth and displayed various types of our diamond anvils and cells.

It is a very good opportunity to introduce our lineups to the people who have never seen or heard about Syntek.
Once you use our anvils and cell together, that combination brings you more precise accuracy than the other makers items.
It means, you keep making the same experimental condition continuously.
Our products are very stable and don’t need many adjustments.We have Almax Boehler type and Perforated Almax anvils, too. If you have special requirements, we will modify anvils and cells whatever you want.
This customization is another advantage of our items.

We just exhibited at the National Conference on Electron Microscopy in Wuhan, China.
Wuhan is known as a confluence point of 2 big rivers that are Chang Jian and Hanshui.
This city has been a key waterway for a long, long time.
As you might know this is the biggest Electron Microscopy meeting in China for sure.
The event has been held in Dongguan 3 times consecutively.
Timing may be good to switch this year to turn over the new leaf.

Visitors were interested in Noventa + Cuesta, Quadra, Metalica and Karate Groover.
We did a demonstration of Karate Groover in the booth. Many visitors cut glass plates and silicon wafers easily and they were glad of its usefulness and ease.
If you have good skills for using microtomes, you don’t need any support features on the knives.
On the other hand, if your laboratory has some beginners or immature staff, our knives help them a lot.
Time of preparation is one of the key issues for every performance.
If you will probably reduce those pre-cutting steps with our Metalica and Karate Groover, you can use your time for productive activities.

We just introduced potential diamond knife users at the 25th Microscopy Conference in Karlsruhe, Germany with our local agent Diapack.
Our booth was not so big, however we had more visitors than we expected.
Most of them are coming from Germany, but we talked to many people who live in different countries.
We exchanged a lot of information and we got some ideas and tips to create a new knife in the near future.

As you might know, we have already released plenty of unique items that the other knife manufacturers don’t make.
Even if our existing knives are not suitable for your needs, we will make your own model accordingly.
This flexible support is also our big advantage.
Of course, the quality of diamonds doesn’t disappoint you.
We look forward to seeing you face to face sometime soon!

We got several feedback from our Metalica users recently.
“Can you make a Tungsten Carbide knife with a boat?”
“I want to cut semi-thin sections regularly”
“I would like to get a practice knife for beginners”
If we could make it, we would do it, because necessity is the mother of inventions.

We call this knife “Metalica Aqua”.
At this moment, we have only 1 type as Aqua: The blade width is 5.0mm and blade angle is 45-degree.
Aqua has good hydrophilicity. If you try to cut 1um sections, it’s no problem to do.
*See the details of the movie from the link below
As you know, 1um is also available to cut with a Histo knife, however some people don’t want to use a diamond blade due to various reasons.
It’s up to you to use this Aqua. You will probably find a brand new method for cutting by yourself.

We are planning to exhibit AIRAPT-29 at the end of September.
This conference will take place from Sun. 28th of Sep. to Fri. 3rd of Oct. in Dogo, Matsuyama, Japan.
As you might know, Matsuyama is a very beautiful city on the inland sea.
This western old city is famous for the hill castle.
This castle tower is 1 of 12 oldest and traditional castles in Japan. It has lasted more than 270 years since it was built.
The place of the event is held in the center of a very famous hot spring area.
This hot spring is 1 of the 3 oldest spas in Japan. It has nearly 500 years of history.

This time, our main product for showing is CVD anvils.
Generally, we have been providing plenty of diamond anvils with natural stones.
On the other hand, we have some requirements that are claiming lower price anvils due to several reasons.
We have already provided CVD bevel anvils for several customers and quality is satisfactory for each one.
Of course, we could make double bevel ones, however we haven’t got any opportunities to use this type at the experiments so far.
We will display the other products, too.
If you have some questions or ideas for your future projects, we are waiting to talk to you at our booth.
Look forward to seeing you in Matsuyama very soon!

We will exhibit our products at another conference in Wuhan, China. The name is 2025 National Conference on Electron Microscopy(2025年全国电子显微学学术年会). The event starts from Friday 26th to Tuesday 30th of September.
We will be there with our local official distributor Ultravision who is based in Shanghai.

If you stay in China or around that country, why don’t you come to Wuhan and stop by our booth?
We will display new products that we have never showed you.
Even if you don’t look for anything at this moment, you may find something that you wanted at your deep psychological level.
Let’s talk about details at our booth and launch your future!

We will exhibit our products at MC(Microscopy Conference) 25 in Karlsruhe, Germany from Monday 1st to Thursday 4th of September.
We will be there with our local official distributor Diapack.

If you stay in Germany or around that country, why don’t you come to Karlsruhe and stop by our booth?
We will display several new knives that haven’t been shown to anyone yet.
Even if you don’t look for anything at this moment, you may find something that you wanted in your instinct.
Let’s discuss your current and future project at our booth No.32!

We just exhibited at the KSM spring conference with our distributor SIMS.
The meeting itself was held at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea.
We introduced our knives including the new models and Japanese microtome.
This Japanese microtome will be a good or even better alternative to RMC equipment because it has higher stiffness of the holder and the movement is more precise than Leica and RMC microtomes.

If you could cut and observe your samples by microtome and SEM or TEM, that would be great.
We understand many people want to do it, however in reality it is difficult to do the above method.
Generally people tend to use polishing or FIB for checking their samples.
Even if this way is the mainstream of research recently, we still insist on trying to cut your samples with microtomes.
Of course it is nothing more than a dream while you are using existing knives.
Nevertheless, once you use our knives, not using famous Giant’s products, you will see the other face of your resin blocks.
If you prepare a good fixation of your samples, a high rigidity microtome and a great cutting tool, you will change your mind drastically.
That is what we wanted to do for a long time and your dreams come true with SYM Knife.

We just exhibited our knives at the AAT47 conference in Bensaen beach resort in Chonburi, Thailand.
Our official Thai distributor Absotec supported us a lot!
*AAT stands for Anatomy Association of Thailand
This is the first time to show our knives to people who belong to the anatomical research field.
We had 3 days for the meeting and a total of 400 people were gathering to that fabulous resort hotel.

Observing by Electron Microscopy is not a popular method yet in Thailand, however someday it may come like the other countries.
*Many people are choosing Light Microscopes at this moment
Probably this field itself doesn’t need ultrathin sections.
5 micron thickness might be good enough.Even so, our Tungsten Carbide knife, that is Metalica, is able to cut sections between 1 micron and 20 micon very well.
Cutting results by Metalica are much better than existing other metal knives for sure.
As you might know, over 3 micron thickness is difficult to cut with diamond knives.
You may cut that zone with a glass knife, but the quality of the glass knife edge is always unstable.
If you need some demands for this range of sections, Metalica is definitely the great choice to try.
