The Bright Clini-RF is a small, free standing, top opening, and ultra low temperature freezer. Its function is to rapidly freeze tissue specimens ready for cryotomy or for storage. Inside the Clini-RF are two cylindrical chambers, the upper chamber is held at -40°C and the lower at -80°C.
The lower chamber can be filled with 3M’s Novec HFE-7100, into which specimens can be immersed. Alternatively, an aluminium block can be incorporated into which a specimen holder or chuck can be fitted. The upper chamber is used as a short term storage area for specimens after they have been initially frozen in the lower chamber.
Seven Day Timer
A seven day timer can be fitted to the Clini-RF and is available as an accessory. This means that during the hours when the Clini-RF is not being used it can be run in a ‘standby’ mode with both the upper and lower chambers running at -40°C, thus saving power. At the start of the working day it can be switched to its normal operating mode and the lower chamber can be brought down to -80°C.
