SnapFrost : Tissue Snap freezing system
SnapFrost : Tissue Snap freezing system
The document describes the Snapfrost® Ultra Fast Specimen Freezing System, emphasizing its impact on preserving tissue specimen morphology and molecular components. The system ensures ultra-fast, reproducible, and artefact-free freezing using an iso-pentane freezing bath cooled to -80°C.
The Snapfrost® system uses iso-pentane, which transmits temperature faster and more consistently than liquid nitrogen, preserving cell membranes and preventing tissue lesions. This method avoids the formation of large ice crystals that can degrade cellular structures.
The system features two independent chambers: an upper chamber at -40°C and a lower chamber adjustable between -40°C and -80°C. The lower chamber has a volume of 680 ml, reducible to 5 ml with inserts, while the upper chamber can temporarily store 5300 ml of frozen samples.
The unit can be programmed to start and stop automatically, reducing the risk of tissue damage from ice crystals. This feature enhances the quality of staining and morphological identification.
Snapfrost® is a compact, self-contained unit with wheels for easy mobility. It requires only a standard power socket and minimal maintenance, making it economical and user-friendly.
While liquid nitrogen is a common deep-freezing method, it lacks controlled conditions and poses safety risks. Snapfrost® offers a safer, more flexible alternative, especially beneficial near surgery rooms for immediate freezing post-resection.
Snapfrost® provides a reliable, economical, and safe solution for high-quality specimen freezing, using isopentane as a cost-effective and safer coolant compared to liquid nitrogen.
