World's first freestanding cryostat with a unique jet-spray liquid decontamination is set to revolutionise section cutting in high biohazard risk areas, says manufacturer
Developed in conjunction with leading cryotomists, the Bright 7500 is set to revolutionise section cutting in high biohazard risk areas, says Jencons.
The 7500 has been designed with the safety of the cryotomist primarily in mind, and to satisfy requirements from customers who want a cryostat with a simple and effective decontamination system.
The 7500 is the first freestanding cryostat with a jet-spray liquid decontamination system and a radial cutting microtome.
It is designed to cut a wide range of specimens but, because of the unique decontamination method, the 7500 is particularly suited for use in areas of high biohazard risk, especially where safe ventilation is a problem.
The instrument has been designed with a cabinet for storage of decontamination liquid and contaminated waste.
The thoroughly effective decontamination cycle is initiated by the press of a button and takes just 31/2 hours from cold to cold.
The decontamination process itself is odourless and incorporates powerful jet sprays, which cover every part of the microtome and chamber with sterilising fluid.
Once the process is complete the contaminated waste is captured in a bottle, which can be sealed for safe disposal.
Section quality is assured with the new 7000 flat radial cutting microtome, and ample space inside the cabinet allows operators to move their hands without restriction.
A powered window with heated surround, motorised advance and rewind and a contoured top all help to make the Bright 7500 the cryostat of choice when cutting potentially bio-hazardous sections.
