Cryomold®, Round , Standard (4728) – Clear plastic with handling tab, measures 22 mm diameter x 5 mm deep
Cryomold®, Round , Biopsy (4730) – Clear plastic with handling tab, measures 15 mm diameter x 5 mm deep
Specimen Holder, Small (5807, 5808 amp; 5809) – Tissue-Tek®Cryo3® Used for mounting specimens with O.C.T. Compound, which will be frozen for sectioning. The small holder can accommodate a specimen size up to 25 mm. In addition, Tissue-Tek® Cryomolds™, standard and biopsy sizes, can be used to create a uniformly shaped flat surface to aid in trimming and sectioning.
Heat extractor, Standard (5811 & 5815)– Used to aid in rapidly freezing specimens for frozen sectioning technique. Using the heat extractor greatly reduces the rate of freezing specimens.
Cryobar Insert, 4-Cavity (5819) – These unique inserts enable flexibility in configuring the Cryo3 cryobar the meet the needs of each laboratory. Each insert is easily removed and replaced. The 4-cavity insert is used to accommodate the specimen holder post, which can be positioned directly into each well for freezing
Cryobar Insert, 4-Post (5820) – These unique inserts enable flexibility in configuring the Cryo3 cryobar the meet the needs of each laboratory. Each insert is easily removed and replaced. The 4-post insert is used to accommodate cryomolds, which can be positioned directly into each well for freezing. Cryomolds create a uniformly-shaped, that surface, which make trimming and sectioning easier and faster.
Utility Tray (5824) – This removable utility tray is positioned inside the Cryo chamber to the right of the Microtome. It provides ample space to accommodate miscellaneous items such as OCT Compound, disposable blades, brushes etc. The four holes may be used to store extra specimen holders for future use.
Waste Bottle (5825) – This 2-liter waste bottle is a plastic container which is positioned on the lower left front side of the Cryo3 instrument. The waste bottle is responsible for collecting residual moisture and debris generated from the defrost cycle or manual disinfection procedures.
Vacuum Filter Set (5826) – This set is used with Cryo3 models 5801 and 5802, consists of a microbial filter, a coarse debris filter and a corrugated vacuum hose. The filter is connected to a port located inside the chamber and the other end is connected to the blade holder port. When the vacuum system is on, debris and unwanted trimmings generated during sectioning are collected and contained in the filter. The filter is disposable and should be removed and replaced every 2 months or as often as necessary.
Vacuum Hose attachment (5827) – This vacuum hose attachment is used in conjunction with the vacuum filter set and can be attached to the corrugated vacuum hose, which connects the microbial filter. When the vacuum system is powered on, the hose attachment can be used to remove debris from the base of the chamber or other areas inside the instrument. Tissue-Tek® Cryo3® models 5801 & 5802 come standard with the vacuum debris removal system.
Ozone Lamp Assembly (5828) – The ozone lamp is responsible for generating ozone inside the chamber for the purpose of automatically disinfecting the cryo chamber. Ozone disinfection is standard in both CryO3 models, 5801 & 5802.The ozone lamp assembly should be replaced every 1000 cycles. The instrument software provides a reminder message when the useful life is nearing its end.
Foot Pedal (5829) – The optional foot pedal is designed to be used for hand-free automated sectioning when using Cryo3 model 6202, which comes standard with motorized sectioning. It can be used to take the place of using the control panel to operate the motorized function of the instrument. The foot pedal is an optional item.
Anti Roll Rake (6211) – The newly designed anti-roll rake is a unique anti-roll device mounted above the microtome chuck, which is used to easily and consistently obtain sections from frozen specimen blocks. The grooved edge of the rake attaches to frozen O.C.T., preventing the section from curling to produce a clean flat section to mount on a microscope slide. The anti-roll rake can be easily adjusted by manipulating the back knob located on the left side of the rake. This technique independent method is ideal when using Cryomolds.
Anti Roll Plate (6210) – The anti-roll plate is used on the Cryo3 to assist in stopping tissues from rolling while performing microtomy.
Steel Knife Holder (5833) – The steel knife holder is an adapter which holds a steel knife in place on the Cryo3.
Drain Cleaning Brush (5834) – This device is used to periodically clean the drain hole inside the instrument, located at the bottom left-side of the chamber. The drain is responsible for channeling residual fluid generated from the defrost cycle into the waste bottle.
Ozone Port Screen (5835) – The ozone port screen is a small, round mesh screen used to protect the ozone port from debris. It should be placed over the ozone port located at the base of the chamber on the right side.
Fluorescent Lamp (5836) – The fluorescent lamp is mounted inside the chamber and is used to light the chamber while sectioning. The light is illuminated each time the chamber window is open. A function key located on the display can be pressed to illuminate or turn off the lamp manually.
