Minux® Automatic Cryostat

The Minux® Automatic Cryostat provides reproducible, thin, serial frozen sections of the maximum quality at an affordable price. The unique advantage is stable refrigeration efficiency. Even in an open-window operation model, the cutting-edge cooling technology achieves less than 2ºC of temperature fluctuations in 3 hours.

For fast results, keeping tissue samples intact is crucial in clinical pathology, histology, histopathology, and research labs. This can be done by using a cryostat machine that employs cryogenic temperatures to freeze and preserve tissues.

Applications include pathological diagnosis, biological research, neuroanatomical research, and pharmaceutical research.

• Intelligent
• 4 automated sectioning modes can meet the needs of different slicing tissue scenes.
• Cutting window function ensures the quality as well as improves efficiency.
• Stable
• Advanced temp. control system and prominent refrigeration system guarantee temp. stability.
• High-precision cross rail and screw, five-phase high-resolution sampling motor, and horizontal sampling slider made of aviation aluminum form a precise sampling system to ensure stable section quality.
• Safe

• Waste liquid volume will be displayed on the touch screen. Full bottle alarm prevents waste liquid from flowing out and contaminating the ground.
• Anionic antimicrobial coating minimizes infectious contamination during the alternating operation inside and outside the cabinet.
• Efficient
• 7 In. colorful touch screen and joystick integrated with coarse sample feeding, trimming, section switching, and thickness adjustment constitute an efficient operating system.
