3000-01 Clini RF Freezer
The Bright Clini-RF is a small, free standing, top opening, and ultra low temperature freezer. Its function is to rapidly freeze tissue specimens ready for cryotomy or for storage. The Clini-RF is the safe alternative to snap-freezing in Liquid Nitrogen, removing the hazards of cryogenic handling.
Inside the Clini-RF are two cylindrical chambers. The upper chamber is held at -40°F ( -40°C ) and the lower at -112°F (-80°C). The lower chamber can be filled with 3M’s Novec HFE-7100, into which specimens can be immersed. Alternatively, an aluminium block can be incorporated into which a specimen holder or chuck can be fitted. The upper chamber is used as a short term storage area for specimens after they have been initially frozen in the lower chamber.
Features
A seven day timer is fitted to the Clini-RF so that during out-of-work hours when not in use it can be run in energy saving standby mode with both the upper and lower chambers running at -40°F ( -40°C ) thus saving power. At the start of the working day it is automatically switched to its normal operating mode and the lower chamber brought down to 112°F (-80°C).
