FAQs of ConXport Automatic Cryostat Microtome:
Q: How does the ConXport Cryostat Microtome ensure precise tissue sectioning?
A: The microtome uses a rotary mechanism with section thickness settings adjustable from 1 to 40 m in 1 m increments. Combined with a universal quick release clamp and integrated environmental sensors, it guarantees consistent, ultra-fine tissue sections essential for diagnostic applications.
Q: What is the process for preparing frozen tissue samples using this microtome?
A: To prepare samples, tissues are quickly frozen in the rapid freezing chamber. The rotary microtome then sections the frozen tissue at the desired thickness. Programmable sectioning programs and an intuitive digital display streamline the entire workflow, enabling rapid, accurate results.
Q: When should the defrosting function be used, and how is it operated?
A: The unit features both manual and automatic defrosting options. Defrosting should be performed routinely or when ice build-up is detected in the chamber, to maintain optimal performance. The user can initiate defrosting via the control panel, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Q: Where is this cryostat microtome ideally used?
A: This equipment is best suited for histopathology and cytology laboratories in clinical, medical, and research settings. Its design addresses the fast-paced environment of hospitals and diagnostic centers requiring rapid and reliable frozen section analysis.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the microtome?
A: Key safety elements include an emergency stop button, insulated double-door stainless steel cabinet, and controlled internal LED illumination for safe and convenient usage during sample processing.
Q: How can users benefit from the programmable sectioning settings?
A: User-programmable sectioning settings allow customization tailored to specific protocols, improving consistency, efficiency, and accuracy in tissue preparation for diverse diagnostic or research requirements.
