FAQs of Cryostat Microtome:
Q: How does the adjustable temperature control benefit laboratory workflows?
A: The adjustable temperature control from -35C to -10C helps optimize sectioning conditions for different specimen types, preserving tissue morphology and improving sample quality for research or diagnostic analysis.
Q: What is the process for defrosting in this Cryostat Microtome?
A: The instrument offers both automatic and manual defrost modes. Automatic defrost simplifies routine cleaning and maintenance, while manual mode allows precise intervention when needed, ensuring flexibility in laboratory schedules.
Q: When should the safety lock and over-temperature protection features be utilized?
A: The safety lock and over-temperature protection should be engaged whenever the microtome is in operation. These features prevent unauthorized access and safeguard users and samples from potential thermal hazards.
Q: Where can this Cryostat Microtome be installed within a laboratory setting?
A: With compact dimensions of 660 x 640 x 1140 mm and rugged construction using stainless steel and ABS plastic, the unit fits easily into most histopathology, biopsy, and research laboratories while maintaining a low noise profile (<65 dB).
Q: What specimens are compatible with the universal orientation specimen holder?
A: The universal orientation specimen holder accommodates a wide variety of tissue types and sizes, allowing researchers and technicians to efficiently secure their samples for consistent sectioning results.
Q: How is section thickness controlled and what is its range?
A: Section thickness can be manually or semi-automatically set using the digital LCD interface, offering a versatile range from 1 to 60 microns to meet diverse sample preparation needs.
Q: What are the main benefits of the LED cold light source illumination?
A: The LED cold light source provides bright, even illumination without generating heat, which protects tissue specimens during sectioning and enhances visibility for precise cutting.
