OVERVIEW 

 

 

This model has an ergonomic design and is manufactured using numerically - controlled 

machine tools. It is recommended for use in hospitals, medical schools, scientific research institutes, 

and food quarantine and inspection organizations.   

With its novel design, this instrument has a high precision, stable performance, and easy 

operation. It possesses the following features:   

 

A specimen retraction function protects the specimen from blade damage. 

 

A trim button allows for easy switching between trim and sectioning mode.   

 

It has a counting function for the number of sections and the total thickness.   

 

The cryogenic refrigeration system utilizes a forced cooling structure. The refrigeration 

chamber, freezing shelf, blade holder, and specimen holder are cooled independently by a 

German double compressor to enhance cooling performance and increase cooling speed.   

 

Imported R404A non-CFC refrigerants that are environment-friendly. 

 

It achieves the desirable sectioning temperature within 60 minutes after turning on the unit 

when using the specimen head cooling. 

 

UV option enables surface disinfection of harmful bacteria, viruses, and spores by using 35 

min after each use. 

 

The Peltier semiconductor cooling function on the quick freeze shelf can be turned on and off. 

 

Heated and removable glass door.   

 

Two defrosting modes: programmed defrosting and manual defrosting.   

 

Microtome is outside of the refrigeration chamber to avoid the effect of heat-expansion and 

cold-contraction, thus minimizing the need for maintenance.   

 

User-friendly intelligent operational interface is easy to learn and operate. 

 

LCD screen displays the number of sections and the total thickness, section thickness, 

specimen retraction value, temperature setting, date, time, temperature, and on/off timer are 

all included on the main display. 

 

Auto sleep function results in longer compressor life: the cryochamber temperature 

automatically stays in a range of -4 to -9

 under the sleep mode, and returns to the sectioning 

temperature within 10 minutes after canceling the sleep mode. 

 

Keyboard locking function to avoid accident mis-operation. 

 

A mechanical handwheel lock ensure safe chamber access. 

 

A large quick-freezing shelf allows for the preparation of 26 specimens at the same time, two 

of which are cooled by a Peltier semiconductor.
