Physitemp’s new line of temperature-controlled freezing stages incorporates several innovative features at a lower cost than our TC series controllers.

These controllers are designed around a new generation of switching power supplies which are smaller and lighter than the older BFS supplies. The supplies are overrated 100% to ensure cool operation and continuous service.

  • Frozen tissue sections from any microtome
  • Fast freezing preserves cell detail
  • Freeze to temperatures as low as -40°C
  • Temperature adjustable for optimum cutting
  • Quick thaw for easy cleanup
