OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Instrument Specifications

• Highest quality freezing of tissue samples in thickness ranges of up to 0.2 mm without requiring freeze protective additives.
• Array of specimen carriers available,i.e. for suspensions (capillary tubes),tissue extracted by fine needle biopsy and carriers for monolayer cell cultures.
• In-situ real time measurement of temperature and pressure.
• Fast 90 second process cycle allows expeditious application.
• Automatic, microprocessor controlled operation for routine work.
• Compact, sturdy unit with soundproof and vibration-free housing.
