Description
The 3000 01 Clini RF is a compact, free standing, top opening ultra low temperature freezer designed for rapid tissue freezing prior to cryotomy or for short term specimen storage. The system provides controlled dual temperature chambers to support standardized pre analytical tissue preparation in clinical and research environments.
The Clini RF offers a safer alternative to snap freezing in liquid nitrogen by eliminating the handling risks associated with cryogenic fluids.
Dual Chamber Configuration for Controlled Freezing
The Clini RF contains two independently regulated cylindrical chambers:
- Upper chamber maintained at minus 40 degrees Celsius
- Lower chamber maintained at minus 80 degrees Celsius
The lower chamber is used for rapid freezing of tissue specimens. The upper chamber functions as a short term holding area for samples following initial freezing, supporting organized workflow prior to cryosectioning.
This dual temperature configuration enables reproducible freezing conditions and minimizes variability in downstream cryostat sectioning.
Flexible Specimen Freezing Options
The lower chamber can be configured according to laboratory preference:
- Filled with 3M Novec HFE 7100 fluid to allow direct immersion of tissue specimens for rapid heat extraction
- Equipped with an aluminium block designed to hold specimen chucks or holders for controlled contact freezing
These options allow laboratories to select a freezing method aligned with their standard operating procedures and tissue handling protocols.
Integrated Seven Day Energy Saving Timer
An integrated seven day programmable timer supports reduced energy consumption outside working hours. During standby mode, both chambers operate at minus 40 degrees Celsius to conserve power. At the start of the programmed work period, the system automatically returns to normal operating mode, with the lower chamber reaching minus 80 degrees Celsius.
This automated temperature management supports operational efficiency while maintaining readiness for routine clinical or research use.
Applications
The Clini RF rapid freezing system is suitable for:
- Clinical histology laboratories performing frozen section analysis
- Pathology departments requiring standardized pre cryotomy freezing
- Biomedical research laboratories preparing tissue for cryostat sectioning
- Facilities seeking a liquid nitrogen alternative for rapid tissue freezing
