CitoPress-5

Compact entry-level hot compression mounting press, intuitive and simple to operate, suited for small laboratory routine specimen preparation.

The CitoPress-5 is the most compact entry-level hot compression mounting press in the CitoPress range, designed for small laboratories or low-volume applications. Its clean, intuitive interface requires only three parameters — temperature, pressure, and time — to complete the hot mounting cycle quickly. Combined with Struers dedicated hot mounting resins, the CitoPress-5 delivers excellent edge retention and hardness, making it an ideal starting point for metallographic laboratories.
