Leica CM3050 S Research CryostatProcessing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user. The Leica CM3050 S cryostat is designed to help with exactly these time consuming jobs. The low working height and available knee space of the Leica CM3050 S cryostat allow the user to work comfortably while

Processing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user. The Leica CM3050 S cryostat is designed to help with exactly these time-consuming jobs.

The low working height and available knee space of the Leica CM3050 S cryostat allow the user to work comfortably while sitting. Motorized drive and section counter improve productivity for multiple serial sections.

Particularly when working with delicate specimens, e.g. brain samples, the precise specimen orientation and the specimen feed system provide for reproducible sections.
