Used LEICA REICHERT CM1850 #154037 for sale

LEICA REICHERT CM 1850 is a fully integrated cryomicrotome for the cryosectioning of biological samples for electron microscopy. The robust design and integrated features of the CM 1850 assure precise sectioning of a wide variety of samples. The automated cryomicrotome is equipped with a powerful XY stage and a precision cryomotor controlled by a sophisticated computer. The XY stage enables precise positioning of sections up to one micron. The CM 1850 is also equipped with a vibration dampening system to reduce sample movement during sectioning. The cryomotor has been optimized to provide a consistent cut angle throughout a range of section thickness. It is capable of sectioning up to 200 microns of thickness with a cutting angle of up to +/- 20°. The automated cryomicrotome also features an intuitive computer interface for controlling the cryomotor and for manipulating the XY stage. The intuitive computer interface provides users with the ability to easily program sectioning depths and slicing speeds. Additionally, users can calculate the optimal variable temperature range for optimal sectioning. The variable temperature range decreases sample dehydration and significantly improves section stability throughout the sectioning process. The Reichert CM 1850 also features a cryochamber and a Köhler illumination system for optimal sample visibility. The automated cryomicrotome is equipped with a microscope stage to allow for convenient sample positioning. The microscope stage enables the user to easily locate and move samples within the chamber, eliminating unnecessary back and forth movements during the cryosectioning process. In addition to the automated cryomicrotome, LEICA REICHERT CM 1850 also includes a LN2 storage tank, a temperature controller, and a heating element. The LN2 storage tank is necessary to keep coolant liquid nitrogen at a constant temperature during operation, while the temperature controller and heating elements allow users to precisely adjust the temperature dependent variables. All of these components work together to ensure consistent results throughout the process. The CM 1850 is ideal for use in the cryosectioning of biological samples for electron microscopy. By combining precision cutting and variable temperature range to reduce dehydration, the automated cryomicrotome provides consistent, high quality sections for optimal microscopy samples. Additionally, the intuitive computer interface and convenient sample positioning make the CM 1850 a valuable addition to any laboratory.
