Labzee Benchtop Cryostats are compact, high-performance instruments designed for rapid freezing and precise sectioning of fresh or frozen tissue samples. They utilize an integrated refrigeration system and microtome assembly to maintain stable cryogenic temperatures for consistent sectioning. These units offer adjustable temperature control, anti-roll mechanisms, and user-friendly operation in a space-saving footprint. Their low maintenance design, safety features, and fast cooling cycles enhance reliability in fast-paced lab environments. Our Benchtop Cryostats are ideal for use in pathology labs, research facilities, surgical suites, and teaching laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: When is a Benchtop Cryostat used in the lab?
It is used for cutting thin sections of frozen tissue for rapid diagnostic or research purposes. The cryogenic environment preserves sample morphology during sectioning. It is commonly used in intraoperative pathology.
2: Can the unit maintain a consistent cryogenic temperature?
Yes, Benchtop Cryostats feature precise digital temperature control for the chamber and specimen. Consistent cooling ensures section quality and reproducibility. Settings can typically be adjusted to match different sample types.
3: Can frozen tissues be cut at varying thicknesses?
Yes, section thickness is adjustable, often between 1 and 60 µm. This allows flexibility for different diagnostic or research requirements. Smooth thickness adjustment ensures accurate results.
4: When should the chamber be cleaned and disinfected?
The cryostat chamber should be cleaned after every session to prevent contamination. Use cryo-safe disinfectants and remove residual tissue and debris. Routine cleaning extends equipment life and improves hygiene.
5: Can it be used in small labs with limited space?
Yes, the benchtop design is ideal for compact workspaces without sacrificing performance. Its portable form factor makes it easy to relocate as needed. It suits mobile labs, universities, and small pathology units.
