The cryostat is a cryogenic device that makes it possible to produce frozen tissue sections with a thickness of 4 to 50 μm.

The experimental zone is maintained between -10 ° C and -50 ° C. inside a microtome allows cuts in the fabric hardened by freezing.

Applications can be diverse: structural staining, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and laser capture.

Cryostat cutting is a fast technique of choice for the detection of so-called difficult antigen such as lipid-soluble antigens and other antigens.

With this technique, it is possible to work on fixed or non-fixed tissues.

The advantage of this technique is that there is no degradation of the antigenic sites: Protein (enzyme, receptor, mRNA ...) chemical substance (neurotransmitter ...)

The other benefits are:

We offer inclusion media for cryostat colored in pink, blue, green and yellow according to your needs.
