Cryostat
Equipment Introduction
The Epredia CryoStar™ NX70 Cryostat allows users to cut fresh-frozen tissue sections down to 0.5μm at low temperatures. It also introduces a form-fitting design, an integrated height control and motorized sectioning.
Specification
| Temperature | The temperature of the blade holder and sample head is adjustable, the blade holder is -5~-35°C, the sample head is 10~-50°C, to ensure continuous and stable sample cooling. |
| Programs & holder | It can store more than 3 commonly used slicing programs, and set the temperature of blade holder and sample head for different tissues. |
| Quick-freezing platform | The quick-freezing platform has ≥18+1 positions, including a semiconductor refrigeration position, and the lowest cooling temperature can reach -60°C. |
| Slice thickness | 0.5 - 500 μm; 0.5 - 2 μm in 0.5 μm steps 2 - 10 μm in 1 μm steps 10 - 20 μm in 2 μm steps 20 - 50 μm in 5 μm steps 50 - 100 μm in 10 μm steps |
| Trimming thickness | 5 - 500 μm |
| Horizontal distance | ≥ 48mm, with remaining distance reminder function |
| Vertical distance | The vertical moving distance of the sample head is ≥64mm. |
| X/Y/Z axis of sample head | The X/Y axis of the sample head is positioned at 7°, and the Z axis can be rotated 360°. |
| Sectioning | Equipped with electric sectioning and height adjustment function (82 - 112 cm) as standard, with vacuum suction function and disinfection function. |
| Joystick | Multi-function universal joystick, one button can achieve all the operations required for slicing. The moving speed of the manual joystick can be adjusted and the maximum speed is 3 mm/s. |
