AST580 Fully-automatic Cryogenic Microtome with Touch Screen

Transform your frozen tissue sectioning workflow with our Fully-automatic Cryostat Microtome equipped with an intuitive touch screen interface. Its advanced automation and precision guarantee swift, reliable sample preparation for precise diagnostics and research endeavors.

Description of AST580 Fully-automatic Microtome Cryostat with Touch Screen

AST580 fully automatic microtome is designed under engineering and ergonomic concepts. All the components are processed by computer numerical control.

Retraction function prevents specimen damage from blade.

Total thickness calculation.

Low temperature refrigeration system with environment friendly refrigerant R404.

Adopt UV sterilize for 30 minutes every time.

Peltier specimen clamp refrigeration can be turn On or Off manually.

Two defrosting methods: manual and automatic.

Emergency stop function: Press the red button to stop running when any emergency happens.

The high prevision unit is enclosed outside the cryostat chamber to prevent it from thermal expansion and contraction, and keeps minimum maintenance requirement.

Artificial intelligent interface is easy to learn and operate.

Touch Screen and display all information including thickness, thickness sum, controlling time, temperature, time on/off and so on.

Sleep Function: after activating this function, the temperature in cryostat chamber can be kept between -1℃ and -10℃; after stopping this function, the temperature in freeze chamber will rise to working temperature within 30 minutes.

Control panel with locking function could avoid faulty operation.

Handwheel locking function.

Wide freezing shelf can load 17 specimen cassettes simultaneously, and two of them are equipped with peltier to meet different temperatures.
