DESCRIPTION

Tissue-Tek® Cryostat provides superior sections from 1 to 99 µm in 1 µm increments using a temperature-controlled blade holder along with 360° specimen orientation. A color-touch LCD screen provides a visual display of critical information such as current chamber temperature, section thickness, and trimming thickness. The Cryobar® offers 12 positions, allowing operators to use the Cryomold® method or direct method at the same time. The Cryo+® area of the Cryobar® freezes to -50°C within 5 minutes after activation.
The motorized advance and retract keys allow for smooth, precise orientation of the microtome chuck to the blade holder. The blade holder accommodates Accu-Edge® high- and low-profile disposable blades. User-programmable, automatic defrost can be run at night or on-demand as desired.
The Tissue-Tek® Cryo3® Plus DM offers innovative options such as motorized sectioning, automated ozone disinfection, and a practical vacuum debris removal system. The unique ozone-based system enables quick chamber disinfection within 45 or 75 minutes—without exposure to liquid toxic chemicals or residue. The chamber remains locked and secure, guaranteeing maximum protection from ozone exposure and harmful pathogens.
