Description
The Cryostat Microtome YR426-1 is an essential tool in the medical field for the rapid analysis of pathological sections of human, animal, and plant tissues. This advanced device is widely used in hospitals, medical schools, forensic medicine, and animal and plant research units. The YR426-1 consists of four main parts: the top part houses the microcomputer control and panel operation, the central part includes a low-temperature freezer for rapid tissue freezing, the bottom part contains the compressor cooling unit, and the rear part handles mechanical transmission and motor drive.
The 10-inch color LCD touchscreen of the YR426-1 provides a clear and user-friendly interface. It displays critical parameters such as the total number of cuts, cut thickness, temperature control, and date and time. Additionally, its ability to switch between Chinese and English operating interfaces facilitates its use worldwide. Moreover, the humanized hibernation function allows controlling the freezer compartment temperature between -1 and -9 °C. Once the hibernation is canceled, it quickly reaches the cutting temperature within 15 minutes.
Market Price
The Cryostat Microtome YR426-1 has a price range between $20,000 and $32,000 USD, depending on the supplier and additional specifications. This investment reflects the advanced technology and precise features of the device. Thus, it is a valuable option for laboratories and hospitals that require fast and high-quality tissue analysis results.
