Selection Guide for Cryostat Microtome
When selecting Cryostat Microtome, customers should look for features that ensure precision, flexibility, and optimal sample preservation, especially in clinical and research pathology labs. This model offers a freezer chamber temperature range of 0°C to -50°C, maintaining a stable low-temperature environment to preserve tissue integrity during sectioning. The clamp head also supports the same temperature range, minimizing thermal fluctuations at the specimen interface. For faster and deeper freezing, the freezing platform can reach temperatures as low as -55°C, ensuring quick sample solidification. In terms of cutting precision, the section thickness setting range of 0.1 µm to 999 µm allows for ultra-thin to thick sections, while the trimming thickness range of 0 µm to 999 µm provides flexibility for initial rough trimming. These extensive and adjustable ranges make the Cryostat Microtome perfect for routine histology, immunohistochemistry, and research applications requiring high accuracy and reproducibility.
