Leica CM1900 cryostat
The Leica CM1900 is a rapid sectioning cryostat with fully encapsulated microtome and independent specimen cooling system. This model is designed to allow for reproducible sectioning results in less than three minutes while providing easy operation and safety.
The Leica CM1900 features
0 – 60um section thickness setting
0 – 35°C cryochamber temperature range
Programmable auto defrost feature
1 defrost cycle of 9 minutes duration per 24 hours
90 day warranty
The handwheel is ergonomically designed and positioned and can be locked in the upper position. Rapid and frequent changes in specimen temperature allow the sectioning of various kinds of specimens. The open top stainless steel cryochamber with separate specimen cooling is easily accessible and offers ample space for convenient working and storage of specimens.
The encapsulated stainless steel high-precision microtome is splash-proof for easy cleaning. It does not need to be removed from the cryochamber for disinfecting. It is also easy to disinfect for reduction of sample contamination.
The cooling feature allows operators to maintain the specimen at colder temperatures than the cryochamber. This facilitates sectioning of fatty specimens.
Other features include section thickness settings from 1um to 60um, first and second stage compressors, automatic hot gas defrosting, and intuitive single-functional keys and easy-to-read display.
