Cryostats
Responsable : Stéphanie Dumont-Kientzy
Principle
The cryostat allows sections of frozen tissue from 5 µm to 100 µm to be produced in a chamber maintained between -10°C and -27 °C depending on the type of tissue.
Applications:
- Histological staining
- Immunohistochemistry
- In situ hybridization
- Laser microdissection
- Molecular diagnostic studies
Equipment
Models available within the Institute:
