CM 1900 Rapid Sectioning Cryostat for Routine Diagnostics

Reliable results in minutes with the actively cooled quick freeze shelf (-45°C) for up to ten specimen disks with a permanently cooled heat extractor which ensures extremely rapid freezing of large quantities of specimens.

The open top stainless steel cryochamber with separate cryochamber and specimen cooling capabilities is easily accessible and offers ample space for convenient working and storage of specimens. The encapsulated stainless steel high precision microtome is splash proof for easy cleaning and does not need to be removed from the cryochamber for decontamination.

Special Features:

• Two separate cooling systems; cryochamber down to -35°C and specimen temperature down to -50°C.
• The specimen cooling feature allows the operator to maintain the specimen at colder temperatures than the cryochamber to facilitate sectioning of fatty specimens.
• Section thickness settings from 1 to 60um.
• Programmable automatic hot gas defrost function for the condenser coils in the cryochamber and the specimen head.
• 2 Speed motorized coarse feed moves specimen toward or away from knife quickly. The slower forward speed used in conjunction with a rocking motion of the handwheel permits the operator to quickly trim away excess OCT and achieve full face of the specimen with ease.
• Self-explanatory single function keys with an easy to read LED display prevents operating errors.
• Optional 90° prism head mounts on the specimen head for quick freezing specimens in place.
• Slot covered microtome prevents contaminated section debris from entering the microtome.

The versatile and uncomplicated use as well as reliable results are convincing characteristics which give the LEICA CM 1900 its distinctive profile as the instrument of choice for any cryostat application.
