Leica VT1000 S - Automatic Vibrating Blade Microtome

Leica VT1000 S Basic Instrument
100/120/230/240 V / 50-60 Hz


The Leica VT1000 S Vibrating Blade Microtome
has been designed for special applications
associated with sectioning of fresh biolo-
gical tissues. Due to its unique design, the
Leica VT1000 S microtome is also the ideal
instrument for sectioning various industrial
and plant materials (foams, soft rubbers,
various plant parts as for example roots).
The minimum section thickness achievable
with that instrument is around 15 microns.

Julabo - FL300 Recirculating Chiller - 115 V/60 Hz


Recirculating Chiller for environmentally friendly
cooling.
The FL series offers a new generation of chillers
for routine cooling applications within the laboratory
and industry. The working temperature range covers -20°C
to 40°C, the temperature stability of the
PID control is ±0.5°C. All units can easily be cleaned
and are provided with a splash water proof keypad
with LED temperature indication. On the front of the
units there is an RS232 interface as well as an
alarm shutdown.
The filling port is easily accessible placed on
the top under a lift-up cover. Another hinged tray
serves as a file for the operating manual or other
documents concerning the installation. The removible
venting grid allows an easy cleaning of the condenser,
the drain tap is easily acceable behind the grid.
All models include an easily visible level indication.
Another advantage is the venting slots are on the
front and rear and therefore the units can be placed
directly one beside the other (space saving).
