Physitemp’s new addition to their line of temperature controlled freezing stages incorporates several innovative features. The controller is 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.
Safety features include overtemperature alarm with power shut down in the event of inadequate flow of cooling water or overuse of the thaw feature.

Innovative new stage design |
-
An etched grid on top plate promotes better adhesion of frozen sample.
-
Thinner stage design reduces the need for a knife raising block.
-
Waterways inside the stage are redesigned to create a single passage to improve heat transfer and reduce potential for blockage.
-
Single large peltier module results in uniform temperature across the entire surface of the stage.
-
Redesigned mounting hardware facilitates the direct attachment of blocks or posts to the underside of the stage and a new adapter plate system allows mounting on a variety of different microtomes.
