Cryostat Frozen Sectioning Aid System

Frozen sections created as thin as two microns with the same quality as sections cut from paraffin blocks.

• Preserves sample morphology
• Increases quality and reduces repeats
• Fast and effortless serial sectioning
• Sections can be fixed anhydrously

The CryoJane® tape-transfer system creates frozen sections as thin as 2 µm with the same quality as sections cut from paraffin blocks. Sections are wrinkle-free, uncompressed, and fully intact when bonded to the microscope slide. The Cryogen uses adhesive coated slides and adhesive tapes to capture sections instead of using an anti-roll plate or brush.

With this system, thin tissue sections remain unflawed even after mounting. This makes Cryogen ideal for applications that require perfectly thin sections to clarify structural relationships and reveal morphological detail.

The CryoJane tape-transfer system is adaptable to most cryostats on the market. Sections can be fixed 'anhydrously' to preserve virtually all fine structures present in the snap-frozen block of tissue. Water-soluble enzymes, antigens and nucleo-proteins are preserved in situ. With appropriate fixation and staining, true localization of enzyme and antigen activity can be visualized. The bond between the section and the slide is solvent resistant and permanent, preventing section loss during staining.

CryoJane is suitable for routine cryosections and is indispensable for sectioning difficult tissues including fatty breast and undecalcified bone. Preserves sample morphology. Increases quality, reduces repeats and streamlines workflows. Allows fast and virtually effortless serial sectioning.
