Description
The Bright Instruments 9400 Cryostat is a high-capacity, versatile system designed for whole-body sectioning of small animals. Developed for applications where standard cryostats are insufficient, the 9400 supports complete anatomical and molecular studies while preserving tissue integrity across multiple organs.
Patent: GB1803310.0
This cryostat is ideal for research and industrial sectors including medical, histology, life sciences, toxicology, developmental biology, material analysis, automotive, and forestry studies.
Applications
The 9400 Cryostat is engineered to enable advanced preclinical and multi-organ research:
- Whole Animal Sectioning: Whole mouse, rat, guinea pig, and small breed rabbit specimens
- Toxicology and Pharmacology: Assessment of systemic effects, tissue distribution, and multi-organ interactions
- Developmental Biology: Comprehensive anatomical studies and organogenesis research
- Disease Pathology: Multi-organ analysis in disease models
- Autoradiography Integration: Visualization of radiolabelled drug biodistribution, blood-brain barrier penetration, and tumor localization
- Material Science and Industrial Research: Sectioning of large small-animal-like specimens for experimental studies
Whole-body cryosectioning preserves molecular, cellular, and structural integrity, providing high-quality sections for protein localization, gene expression analysis, and functional mapping.
