KD-2950 Cryostat Microtome


KD-2950 Cryostat Microtome

This model has an ergonomic design and is manufactured using numerically-controlled machine tools. A specimen retraction function protects the specimen from blade damage. A trim button allows for easy switching between trim and sectioning mode. Includes a counting function for the number of sections and the total thickness. The cryogenic refrigeration system utilizes a forced cooling structure. The refrigeration chamber, freezing shelf, blade holder, and specimen holder are cooled independently by a German double compressor to enhance cooling performance and increase cooling speed. Achieves the desirable sectioning temperature within 20 minutes after turning on the unit when using the fast-cooling mode. UV option enables surface disinfection of harmful bacteria, viruses, and spores by using 35 min after each use. It also has low-voltage DC shadowless lamp. Two defrosting modes: time defrosting and manual defrosting. Microtome is outside of the refrigeration chamber to avoid the effect of heat-expansion and cold-contraction, thus minimizing the need for maintenance. A large-size quick-freezing shelf allows for the preparation of 17 specimens at the same time. Specimen Orientation: XY – 8°; Z– 360° adjustable at any orientations to ensure precise placement. Self-detection function for the temperature senor, can help to warn the failure on temperature senor.
