Leica CM3050 S

Research cryostat

Overview

The Leica CM3050 S cryostat was designed primarily for the demanding needs of cryosectioning systems in the field of biomedical, neuro-anatomical and pharmaceutical research. Particularly when working with delicate specimens – for example brain samples in neuroscience – the precise specimen orientation and the specimen feed system via step motor guarantees reproducible thin serial sections of maximum quality. The Leica motorized CM3050 S is available with or without active specimen cooling. An ergonomic height adjustment can be retrofitted, enabling the user to operate the cryostat in a sitting or standing position.

Detailed Description

The Leica CM3050 S cryostat features superior user comfort with excellent safety standards for practically all types of cryosectioning applications. It is the instrument of choice for all cryosectioning research applications and also for advanced clinical cryosectioning needs.

Included as a standard feature is a sectioning motor, ensuring fatigue-free ribbon sectioning, and you can select the section thickness at the control panel, outside the cryochamber.

The cryostat can be easily disinfected with Leica Cryofect disinfectant spray at a temperature of around –20°C. The entire cleaning process is completed within less than 25 minutes.
