Cryostat CM1950 N°2 - New
The Leica CM1950 is a high-precision cryostat designed for the rapid and accurate sectioning of frozen tissues, making it an essential tool for histopathology, neuropathology, and oncology research. With a thickness range of 5 to 300 microns, it is ideal for preparing thin sections of brain, kidney, prostate, and other soft tissues for immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and molecular pathology.
The cryostat is equipped with a UV disinfection system, minimizing cross-contamination risks and ensuring biosafety compliance in clinical and research laboratories. Model N°2 features separate specimen cooling, maintaining optimal temperature stability for sensitive tissues, enhancing sectioning precision and morphological integrity.
Designed for ease of use, the CM1950 incorporates clear symbols and LED displays, allowing for intuitive operation and efficient workflow management. During sample preparation, tissues are embedded in Optimal Cutting Temperature (OCT) compound, providing structural support for artifact-free sectioning and high-quality histological analysis.
The Leica CM1950 is widely used in cancer diagnostics, neurodegenerative disease studies, and forensic pathology, offering reproducible results for advanced tissue research and clinical applications.
