PRODUCT INFORMATION

Laboratory cold plate from Micron is a precision cooling device for rapid solidification of paraffin blocks in histology laboratories. This standalone unit provides a consistent cold surface for chilling blocks before sectioning. This laboratory cold plate is widely considered the best accessory for improving microtomy efficiency.

The cold plate features a Teflon-coated aluminum surface that reaches temperatures from ambient down to -20°C. The refrigeration system uses a CFC-free compressor for reliable operation. Micron's laboratory cold plate is a top rated addition to any embedding or microtomy workstation. The digital temperature controller maintains precise temperature with +/-1°C accuracy.

The best laboratory cold plate from Micron accommodates up to 100 cassettes simultaneously. The large work surface (300mm x 400mm) provides ample space for multiple block trays. The Teflon coating prevents paraffin adhesion and simplifies cleaning. For laboratories processing high volumes of blocks, this cold plate is one of the best investments for reducing turnaround time. The automatic defrost cycle prevents ice buildup.

Micron's laboratory cold plate includes an LCD display showing set and actual temperature. The unit features a feather-touch keypad for easy operation. Contact us to add a laboratory cold plate to your equipment lineup. We offer quick delivery and professional installation.
