Whole Organ Sectioning System
Bright instruments have been specialising in the development and production of cryostats for over 50 years. The Bright Instruments 9150 cryostat has been developed for applications when normal cryostats are not large or powerful enough.
Our Specialist Cryostat is Patent Protected
The 9150 is an extremely versatile machine and can be used in sectors such as: medical, histology, research, life science, automotive, forestry and material analysis.
This is a unique machine, protected by Patent GB1803310.0
Key Features
Large Specimen Sectioning
The whole organ sectioning system has a large stage presenting sectioning solutions for large specimens up to 110 (H) x 150 (W) x 150 (L) mm in size. The system offers sectioning in 1um increments between 5um and 200um
Such specimens could include …
Whole Monkey Brain
Whole Human Heart
Whole Human Kidney
Whole Human Spleen
Partial Human Liver
Partial Human Lung
Whole organ cryosectioning is a method which preserves the tissue architecture, as well as molecular and cellular integrity of a whole organ specimen, making it ideal for molecular analyses like immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, or spatial transcriptomics.
This instrument will be an ideal addition to any core facility where the localization of proteins, or gene expression in whole organs is studied.
The large cryostats are made to order and can have additional design specifications as determined by the customer application – please contact us to discuss your research needs.
Touchscreen
The Control panel is the central point of control for the unit, allowing the user to easily customise settings such as temperature, thickness, batch quantities and switch between single and continuous cutting modes.
