non-standard materials and produce tissue sections for various applications. This is a powerful cryostat for routine as well as research applications in biology, medicine, and industry. The instrument has been designed for rapid freezing and sectioning of tissue samples in a temperature controlled environment.</p></div> <div id="uid-6q5yr-2" class="tab-pane fade in "><p>Several features of The Leica CM1850 Cryostat includes a specimen quick freezing shelf that cools to -45℃ with storage space for up to 10 specimen disks. Also features a two speed motorized coarse feed that moves specimen towards or away from the knife holder. The slower the forward speed used in conjunction with a rocking motion of the hand wheel permits the operator to quickly trim away excess material and achieve full face of the specimen.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Leica CM1850 allows section thickness ranging from 1 to 60µm and has a precision crafted spindle feed and roller bearing slide for precise sectioning qualities. Also features a built in enclosed drain system that greatly reduces the chance of spreading infectious agents throughout the workspace. The microtome removes easily for quick cleaning and can be either set for low or high profile blades.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>Cryostat Tutorial: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA7S75MFdNk&ab_channel=BiologyDepartment">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA7S75MFdNk&ab_channel=BiologyDepartment</a></p></div> <div id="uid-6q5yr-3" class="tab-pane fade in "><p><strong>Fees</strong></p> <table style="width: 562px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 280.641px;">Service</td> <td style="width: 285.359px;">Cost</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 280.641px;">Instrument </td> <td style="width: 285.359px;">free</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 280.641px;">Trainging</td> <td style="width: 285.359px;">$50/session</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>Contact and Booking:</strong></p> <p>Zhilin Chen (<a href="mailto:zc@queensu.ca">zc@queensu.ca</a>;
