Leica CM1950 Platform The Disinfecting Clinical Cryostats

Leica CM1950 Platform The cryostats for high quality sectioning, user safety, The Leica CM1950 platform is the latest innovation in a long line of distinguished cryostats manufactured by Leica Biosystems. Leica designed and developed the new family of cryostats based upon users' feedback and their requirements for high quality sections, user safety, and efficient laboratory workflow. high quality sectioning user safety efficient workflow • High precision microtome with si motor object feed • Motorized sectioning (optional) • Stable specimen clamp system • Flat specimen discs for...

1 The brightly lit, ergonomic cryocabinet is spacious enough to allow efficient handling of multiple specimens. 2 store tools, glass slides, staining containers, etc. in a recessed area on top of the cryostat to have these items immediately at hand. 3 For extra ease of use and consistent sectioning of all specimen types, an optional sectioning motor drive is available. 4 Learn quickly and work confidently using the externally located, self-explanatory controls with easily recognizable symbols. 5 For an extra measure of safety, the inside of the instrument features an ozone-free UVC...

High Quality Sectioning Obtain high quality sections through: • NEW: CryoZone™ blade holder and anti-roll guide cooling • Maintaining the ideal object temperature for specific specimens • Great stability of the microtome and blade holder system • Extreme accuracy of the stepper motor object feed • Consistent motor-driven cutting stroke (optional) • Vacuum-assisted sectioning aid (optional) • High precision microtome with exact stepper motor object feed fast FREEZING The cool way to improve section quality! The CryoZone™ system controls a zone of uniformly cool air in the critical areas...

VIBRATION-FREE SECTIONING Superior sectioning of routine, hard, and/or large samples is achieved using a choice of knife/blade holders as well as the new dove tail mounting system that provides increased stability and extended working distance. The new CE holder for high and low profile disposable blades evenly distributes clamping pressure across the entire length of the blade, which provides vibration-free sectioning. Knife holder CN for steel knives (optional accessory) Knife holder CNZ for steel or tungsten carbide knives (optional accessory) The optional vacuum sectioning aid achieves...

Highest User Safety Histology laboratories continue to express major concerns about biohazard exposure and non-ergonomic work practices. As a result of their feedback, the Leica CM1950 family of cryostats is designed to provide maximum protection from these risks at all stages of the sectioning process. • Certified UVC disinfection of exposed surfaces and air within the cryochamber at cold temperatures • AgProtectTM antimicrobial nanosilver coating on the outside surfaces of the cryostat to efficiently reduce the propagation of infectious agents. Silver (Ag) ions are well documented for...

SECTION WASTE REMOVAL Section waste is easily removed by using Leica’s Section Waste Removal System during trimming with the magnetized nozzle (1), or during extensive cleaning with the flexible hose (2). Solid waste is collected in a concealed primary filter system and air is filtered through a HEPA filter for added safety in the laboratory environment. Liquid condensate is collected in a condensate bottle for safer disposal. Leica Biosystems’, built-in UVC disinfection system provides certified protection from infectious material and minimizes the risk of contamination in the cryochamber....

Highly Efficient Workflow The best workflow for efficient operation is achieved by: • Simple specimen identification using the optional, color-coded specimen discs • Fast, efficient specimen orientation with clearly defined zero position • Disposable blade holder for both high and low profile blades • Frost-free, enclosed microtome assembly • optional motor drive for specimen sectioning • Certified UVC disinfection at low temperatures - does not produce condensation or contaminated waste, is effective at low temperatures, and can be terminated at any time to process urgent cases disposable...

The specimen discs can be pre-cooled in the optional internal storage container, and then easily organized and transported. sectioning tools/aids etc. can be conveniently placed on the optional, movable shelf. optional color coded specimen discs help identify specimens come from multiple sources. the specimen disc features a visual specimen orientation aid to enable precise orientation.

Leica CM1950 Technical Specifications The Leica CM1950 basic instrument is equipped with CryoZone™ technology, UVC Disinfection, specimen orientation and AgProtect™ antimicrobial nanosilver coating. An individual, tailor-made instrument can be configured by use of the various options available: • Actively cooled object head (double compressor) • Vacuum Section Waste Removal System • Motorized Sectioning • A wide range of accessories UVC surface disinfection: 30 or 180 minutes, user selectable
