Cryostat.
THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC / SHANDON Cryotome is an advanced, high-performance, cryogenic tissue sectioning system designed to cut frozen samples into extremely thin sections for histological analysis. It is a key piece of laboratory equipment for the precise and reproducible sectioning of frozen anatomical specimens. It provides a powerful and efficient methodology for producing robust cryosections for research and educational use in life sciences. The main components of SHANDON Cryotome include an insulated cryo-chamber, a reciprocating microtome knife and a cold stage with removable cut-off wheel. The insulated cryo-chamber contains liquid nitrogen and is used to store the specimens prior to cutting. The cold stage of THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC Cryotome, where the specimens are actually cut, is equipped with a removable cut-off wheel that can be quickly adjusted to optimum positions to produce the highest quality sections. This wheel is also capable of making angled cuts that allow for the study of the tissue from a variety of angles. The reciprocating microtome knife of Cryotome is the instrument responsible for producing the sections for study. It is an extremely precise and powerful tool with adjustable speeds and pressure settings to suit various specimens. It is capable of producing sections from specimens with a thickness of between 0.5 μm and 10 μm, allowing for highly accurate and consistent slices every time. The unique design of the reciprocating knife also minimizes strain on the specimens, ensuring a clean and smooth surface at the cut sites. THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC / SHANDON Cryotome is powered by a high-grade vacuum motor that provides a consistent and reliable supply of cooling liquid nitrogen. This ensures a precise temperature is maintained throughout all stages of specimen preparation, providing excellent section quality. In addition, SHANDON Cryotome is equipped with a unique power preservation system that guarantees that the temperature remains constant for up to 5 days, allowing samples to be stored for longer periods and providing operators the flexibility to section specimens when needed. For added safety, THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC Cryotome features a number of safety features such as an insulated cryo-chamber door, an emergency stop button, and a slip-resistant platform with a safety switch designed to reduce the risk of accidents. With the aid of state-of-the-art temperature sensors, Cryotome is capable of detecting temperature fluctuations and automatically controlling its power output accordingly, thus reducing the possibility of unexpected errors or accidents. In conclusion, THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC / SHANDON Cryotome is a powerful and reliable cryogenic tissue sectioning system that produces precise and reproducible results obtained with precision and accuracy. It is a versatile instrument that is capable of providing consistent quality sections, regardless of specimen thickness, while also providing added safety features to help protect the operator.
