The Cryostat M630 is an extensively equipped laboratory device for high-speed cryo sections with a powerful cooling unit and a high-precision, semi-automatic microtome. The standard model comes with a specimen clamp with fine adjustment, and UV light disinfection. With plenty of free room at knee height, the Cryostat M630 can be used in a sitting position as well as standing position. As special feature, two fixed height adjustments are available, in order to adjust the Cryostat M630 as best as possible to the comfort of the main user.
The cooling chamber of the Cryostat M630 is illuminated with an LED light strip, the brightness of which can be dimmed up or down. The powerful cooling unit reaches a temperature of down to -35 °C. Inside the cooling chamber is a deep freezing rail with 15 positions for tissue samples. This includes two quick freeze positions that can cool down to 20 °C below chamber temperature and can be set separately. Additionally, an electronically cooled specimen clamp (separately available) can be used that reaches down to -45 °C (at a cooling chamber temperature of -35 °C). This means that the tissue sample can be cooled down even faster for sectioning when necessary. The cooling chamber is closed with a safety glass pane that is heated and thus prevents the formation of condensation on the pane.
Microtome and cooling chamber are operated and set using two separate touch displays. They are positioned above the cooling chamber for easy access and intuitive to use.
