2001 Solid State Freezer

Description

The Bright Instruments 2001 Solid State Freezer is engineered to provide precise temperature control for specimens requiring sub-ambient cooling, optimizing preparation for microtomy. Utilizing an advanced Peltier device cooling stage, this system accurately reduces specimen temperatures from ambient conditions down to -25 degrees Celsius or lower, contingent on laboratory environment. It is designed for seamless integration with microtomes, ensuring consistent and controlled specimen conditioning critical for accurate and reproducible sectioning in diverse research applications.

Key Features

The 2001 Solid State Freezer system is engineered with distinct components designed for precision and reliability in specimen preparation.

The core of the system is the Specimen Cooling Stage, precisely configured at 40 mm x 40 mm. This stage is designed to seamlessly integrate with your microtome, fitting directly in place of a standard specimen holder. It is equipped with essential connections for water inlet, water outlet, and electrical power from the control unit, enabling efficient specimen handling and rapid removal after sectioning.

The sophisticated Control Unit is central to maintaining precise temperature regulation of the specimen stage, which is paramount for achieving consistent specimen freezing and reproducible sectioning outcomes. A critical safety feature includes detection for low water flow, actively preventing overheating and protecting valuable samples.

For laboratories seeking enhanced efficiency and environmental sustainability, an Optional Recirculating Chiller is available. This unit effectively dissipates heat from the Peltier head, presenting a more cost-effective and ecologically conscious alternative to continuous tap water usage. It significantly reduces water consumption while ensuring stable and consistent cooling performance.

Research Applications

The Bright Instruments 2001 Solid State Freezer is an indispensable tool across a range of laboratory disciplines where controlled specimen cooling is paramount for optimal sectioning and analysis. It is ideally suited for:

• Histology and Pathology: Precise cooling of tissue specimens ensures structural integrity and facilitates high-quality sections for microscopic examination.
• Materials Science: Supports the sectioning of temperature-sensitive biological and material samples, enabling consistent preparation for detailed analysis.
• Microtomy Workflows: Seamlessly integrates with both rotary and sledge microtomes, including its primary design compatibility with the Bright 8000 Sledge Microtome, while also offering broad compatibility with other models.

Its application in research laboratories significantly improves section quality and reproducibility, ensuring reliable outcomes for your studies.
