Description
The Bright Instruments 9150 Cryostat is a specialist system designed for sectioning large specimens when standard cryostats are insufficient. With over 50 years of expertise in cryostat development, Bright Instruments has engineered the 9150 to support whole organ cryosectioning while maintaining tissue architecture and molecular integrity.
Patent: GB1803310.0
This cryostat is ideal for applications in medical research, histology, life sciences, material analysis, and other specialized sectors including automotive and forestry studies.
Applications
The 9150 Cryostat supports advanced research requiring precise, reproducible sections of large specimens:
- Neuroscience Research: Whole monkey brain, whole human brain
- Cardiology and Renal Studies: Whole human heart, kidney
- Immunology and Organ Biology: Whole human spleen, partial human liver, partial human lung
- Molecular and Cellular Analysis: Immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, spatial transcriptomics
- Material and Industrial Research: Analysis of large tissue-like specimens or composite materials
Whole organ cryosectioning preserves tissue architecture, cellular integrity, and molecular composition, making it essential for high-resolution molecular mapping, protein localization, or gene expression studies.
