Used TISSUE-TEX Cryostat #9183001 for sale

TISSUE-TEX Cryostat is a lab equipment and accessory that is primarily used to section frozen tissues and cells while maintaining them at ultra low temperatures. This equipment uses liquid nitrogen, a type of nitrogen that is liquified under extreme pressure, to keep the samples cool. With the help of a cryomicrotome, tissue samples are collected and cut into smaller pieces at around -50 degrees Celsius. The temperatures are so low that they make it possible to freeze tissues without causing any damage to the sample. Cryostat consists of a series of components - a TISSUE-TEX Cryostat chamber, a cryogenic cabinet, and a cryomicrotome. Cryostat chamber is the main part of the equipment where sample sections are collected and cut from frozen samples. This chamber is insulated with a special material and it usually includes airtight entry points and exit, for liquid nitrogen and the cryogenic cabinet, respectively. The chamber is kept at ultra-low temperatures of -150 to -200 degrees Celsius. The liquid nitrogen is stored in a cryogenic cabinet which is equipped with a cooling system to ensure that the temperature stays the same within the chamber. It also allows the user to control the flow rate of the liquid nitrogen, according to the needs of the experiment. The cryomicrotome is the third component of the equipment and is used to cut frozen tissue into ultra-thin sections. This instrument consists of a steel blade with a sample holder. The blade is moved at a specific rate and angle and it is connected to a motor. The sample holder holds the sample or tissue that is to be cut and the motor is used to control the speed and angle of the blade. Overall, TISSUE-TEX Cryostat is a versatile and useful laboratory equipment and accessory that can be used to maintain frozen cell and tissue samples. It is essential for cryobiology research, since it enables the researcher to make ultra-thin sections of these samples without damaging or compromising the integrity of the cells or tissue. It is also used to study the effects of freezing or excising tissue samples on certain biological processes.
