Freeze Substitution Automate System

Company: Leica Microsystems
Model: AF

  • Dehydration of frozen biological samples at low temperature.
  • Dehydration of chemically fixed biological samples at subzero temperatures according to the PLT technique (progressive dehydration).
  • Infiltration of dehydrated samples with embedding media at subzero and higher temperatures.
  • UV- polymerisation of embedded biological samples at subzero temperatures in capsules of various kinds or in flat embedding moulds.
  • Conventional dehydration, embedding and heat polymerisation used for biological samples.
