Leica CM1860 UV Cryostat

Leica CM1860 UV Cryostat

Description

The Leica CM1860 UV Cryostat is a high-performance clinical cryostat designed for the rapid freezing and sectioning of tissue samples. It provides a controlled low-temperature environment to maintain tissue integrity during the preparation of thin sections for microscopic examination, supporting diagnostic workflows in pathology and research laboratories.

Key Features

• Integrated UVC disinfection system to reduce the risk of cross-contamination from infectious materials
• AgProtect antimicrobial nanosilver coating on external surfaces to inhibit bacterial growth
• Ergonomic design with rounded corners and accessible controls for user comfort during extended operation
• Precision microtome engineered for consistent section thickness and high-quality specimen slices
• Rapid cooling system designed to reach and maintain stable operating temperatures efficiently

Applications

• Routine clinical pathology for rapid intraoperative frozen section analysis
• Histology research requiring precise sectioning of fresh or fixed tissue specimens
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC) sample preparation
• Anatomical pathology and diagnostic tissue morphology studies

Specifications

• Disinfection technology: Built-in UVC surface disinfection
• Surface treatment: AgProtect antimicrobial coating
• Microtome type: High-precision rotary microtome
• Cooling system: CFC-free refrigeration
