The Leica CM3600 XP is a fully computerized cryomacrotome for whole-body sectioning primarily in quantitative investigation of the effect of labeled compounds, pharmaceuticals and (bio)chemicals in pre-clinical studies, as well as detailed anatomical and morphological analysis.
The Leica CM3600 XP instrument software based on Windowsxp allows the creation and recording of GLP compliant documentation.
Sections of reproducible thickness can be produced with the sturdy heavy duty microtome and directly dehydrated in the large stainless steel cabinet. The standard knife holder allows sectioning of specimens of up to the size of 450 x 150 x 160 mm (LxWxH).
The knife holder is height adjustable and allows sectioning of specimens up to 450 x 150 x 160 mm (LxWxH).
The stable and solid microtome ensures reproducible sections of highest section quality and consistent section thickness for preparing large area tape-mounted sections by using heavy duty disposable blades.
On frames mounted sections can be directly dehydrated in the large stainless steel cryocabinet.
The twin compressor cooling system ensures stable cutting and storing temperatures.
The customer interface is realized with a medical PC conformal with the European directive (93/42 EWG).
The Leica CM3600 XP instrument software based on Windowsxp allows creating and recording of GLP compliant documentation of individually tailored studies including all events and alarms occuring during the duration of the study for improved audit trail.
The built-in photoposition allows the user to automatically stop the sledge after each section in a precisely reproducible position where a picture of the block surface is automatically taken by a camera or a videocamera. This feature allows the 3-dimensional reconstruction of the specimen.
