Reproduceable sections with precise temperature control

High Precision Temperature Control

Our cryostat is extremely consistent, both in terms of temperature control and sectioning quality.

Temperatures are regulated in the cryochamber between 0 to – 35°C.

• An intelligent temperature control system
• Variable speed compressor
• Sample cooling system that includes an adjustable temperature range of between -10°C and-50°C, via a cooled Peltier systemoffering faster temperature
• A ‘Cryobar’ sample preparation station which rapidly cools to -60°C

Stable Section Quality

Stable sectioning is maintained by:

• Precision cross roller guide rails that guarantee section smoothness and accuracy
• Precise screw rods that meet 0.5µm sample injection requirements
• Five phase, high resolution stepping motor with higher positioning accuracy and lower motor vibration
• Horizontal sampling slide crafted from ultra-high strength and corrosion resistant aviation grade aluminium

Integrated Safety Features

The OTF7000 cryostat includes a range of important safety features:

• High-tech, low-temperature UVC disinfection technology that kills bacteria and viruses at an intensity of above 340 uw/ cm ², within both the inner surface and the air inside the cabinet.
• Ergonomic exterior cabinet with a circular arc design. This is available with an optional height-adjustable foot rest for seated operation.
• Section waste is easily removed using the optional section waste removal system so that no manual cleaning is required.
• Integrated waste management system that displays waste liquid volume on the touch screen.
• An alarm to notify the user when the waste management bottle is full.

Efficient and Energy Saving

This expertly engineered machine delivers efficiency with:

• A visually appealing 7 inch touch-sensitive screen.
• A joystick that controls coarse sampling, trimming and section switching, as well as section parameter adjustment.
• Rapid and precise positioning with ±8° visual pointer facilitating adjustment of the specimen clamp to the target angle. This reduces trimming and sample waste.
• Efficient defrosting with a variety of options.
• Auto-sectioning option available for ease of use and consistent sectioning of all specimen types.
• Automatic sleep and wake-up feature that saves energy.
• Specimen loading via a single lever operation.
• Specimen marking to easily record and identify each sample.
