Product Details
PrestoCHILL reduces freezing time to 60 seconds: it eliminates freezing artifacts through ultrafast freezing, preventing the formation of ice crystals. Cut fatty tissues like breast or lymph nodes can be freezed without any sort of difficulty and without the distortion of delicate honeycomb structures. It is possible to obtain perfectly “flat plane” surfaces to reduce trimming time and to cut easily while using the patented* “face down” embedding technique. Moreover, it eliminates the compression of artifacts caused by extremely low temperatures and it removes the retraction of tissues: for example, Glomeruli from Bowman’s capsule, and vacuolation spaces around nucleated brain cells, related to formaline fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) sections.
