Cryostat Microtome

Design Features

1. It is designed under overall engineering and ergonomic concept. All the components are processed with computer numerical controlled machine

2. Specimen retraction function, protects specimen from blade injury

3. Trimming/Cutting button makes it easy to switch from trim and section mode

4. Equip with counter to calculate total pieces and thickness.

5. Dual compressors, which are made in Germany, freeze the cryostat chamber, freezing shelf, knife holder and specimen clamp separate with pro-environment refrigerant R404

6. Temperature can drop to working condition in 60 minutes after switching on.

7. Adopt to UVC sterilize for 35 minutes every time. 

8. Peltier may be on or off manually.

9. Heated, removable sliding window.

10. Two defrost methods: definite time and manual

11. The high-precision microtome is enclosed outside the cryostat chamber to protect it from thermal expansion and contraction and keep minimum service and maintenance.

12. Self-explanatory symbols for all functions and displays, easy to learn and operate.

13. LED screen can display data such as sample travel, thickness, function controlling, day, time, temperature, timed on/off and so on

14. Stand by mode, after initializing, the temperature in cryostat chamber can be controlled between -4℃ an -9℃ by computer automatically; when stop initializing, the temperature in freeze chamber will arrive to working temperature within 10 minutes

15. Control panel with locking function to avoid wrong operation.

16. Handwheel locking

17. Sensor self-diagnosis function.

18. Wide freezing shelf may put 10 specimen cassettes
