Leica CM3050 S Research Cryostat

Primarily designed for the demanding needs of cryosectioning in biomedical, neuro-anatomical and pharmaceutical research

The Leica CM3050 S cryostat features superior user comfort with excellent safety standards for practically all types of cryosectioning applications.

It is the instrument of choice for all research applications and for advanced clinical cryosectioning needs.

Particularly when working with delicate specimens – for example brain samples in neuroscience – the precise specimen orientation and the specimen feed system guarantees reproducible, thin, serial sections of maximum quality.
