BFS-MP Series Freezing Stages for Microtomes
Manufacturer: Physitemp Instruments, Inc.
SKU: BFS-30MP / BFS-5MP / BFS-3MP
Description
The BFS-MP Series are compact freezing stages designed for use with microtomes in histology and pathology laboratories. These units provide precise temperature control for preparing frozen tissue sections, utilizing thermoelectric (Peltier) technology to achieve a working range from room temperature down to -40°C. This method allows for rapid sample freezing, which is essential for preserving cellular morphology and preventing ice crystal artifacts during sectioning. A significant operational advantage is the elimination of the need for carbon dioxide (CO2) or other cryogenic gases, reducing ongoing consumable costs. The stage surface measures 3 inches by 3 inches, offering a stable platform for sample mounting. The system is engineered for continuous, reliable operation with a focus on user convenience, featuring a quick-thaw function to facilitate cleaning between samples. These stages are compatible with a variety of common microtome models.
