CryoStar™ NX50 Cryostat, Thermo Scientific

The CryoStar™ NX50 Cryostat extends the benefits of the NX series by offering an innovative new look at cryosectioning. The NX series has been designed completely around the user to deliver optimal sectioning quality, unmatched ergonomics, and safety in an energy efficient package. With the NX series, users can deliver high quality results comfortably, safely, and efficiently.

The cryochamber features a spacious stainless steel chamber for workflow organization, chamber cooling to –25°C, ±2°C (at 20°C ambient), separate specimen head cooling to –43°C, ±2°C (at 20°C ambient), and a continuously cooled knife holder to –27°C, ±2°C (at 20°C ambient). Eighteen cryobar storage positions include one quick freeze location. The integrated peltier fast freezing device rapidly cools to –57°C, ±3°C. The microtome features a manual light touch rotary flywheel, with sample orientation adjustable 8° in the Y axis for increased stability and 360° Z axis rotation.

Environmental Note: The NX50 and NX70 Cryostats utilize a rapid response cooling system that actively cools all areas of the cryochamber that come in contact with the sample, including the specimen clamp, cryobar, and blade. The result is precise temperature control and half the energy consumption of other routine cryostats. Low energy LED lighting with user-adjustable intensity is also included.
