Used Lab Equipment

The 1512 rotary microtome was especially designed for the preparation of various paraffin-embedded specimens in histology and pathology. High-quality and corrosion-resistant materials. Long service life and lasting sectioning precision. All common knife types up to 170 mm long can be used. Integrated safety guard for maximum safety. Various specimen clamps available. Section thickness range from 1 to 25 um. All controls are placed on the front of the microtome ensuring convenient operation during the setting of section thicknesses, the controlled sectioning of the object and the rapid adjustment of the knife. For precise alignment of the specimen and the knife, the specimen clamp can be tilted through 10 degrees in any direction by means of two knurled screws.

The CP02 cryoPREP^® Automated Dry Pulverizer uses a calibrated and controlled mechanical force to cryofracture flash-frozen tissues within a mass range of 15 mg to 2 g. The dry pulverization process disrupts the extra-cellular tissue matrix and increases the tissue surface area, thus improving the extraction efficiency of biomolecules, while minimizing sample loss during the process. The increased surface area reduces the distance a stabilizing extraction buffer need to diffuse during subsequent lysis steps.
