The CryoStar™ NX50 Cryostat is a state-of-the-art cryostat with standard features well-suited to the histology laboratory, including Rapid Response Object Head Temperature Control and a color touch screen user interface for control of instrument functions.
The cryochamber features a spacious stainless steel chamber for workflow organization, chamber cooling to –25 °C, ±2°C (at 20°C ambient), separate specimen head cooling to –43 °C, ±2 °C (at 20 °C ambient), and a continuously cooled knife holder to –27 °C, ±2 °C (at 20 °C ambient). The integrated peltier fast freezing device rapidly cools to –57 °C, ±3 °C. The microtome features a manual light touch rotary flywheel, with sample orientation adjustable 8° in the Y axis for increased stability and 360° Z axis rotation.
The NX50 utilizes a rapid response cooling system that actively cools all areas of the cryochamber that comes in contact with the sample, including the specimen clamp, cryobar, and blade, resulting in precise temperature control. Height adjusts for the cutting chamber so that standing or sitting is comfortable. The CTAF NX50 includes an anti-roll plate, vacutome, and Cold D™ Cold Disinfection which disinfects the cold cryochamber in just 50 minutes.
