Fully automated sample preparation system EM CPD300

automatedfor sample preparationfor research

Overview
The Leica EM CPD300 critical point dryer offers an automated, controlled method for drying delicate samples prior to SEM analysis. The process replaces liquids with supercritical fluid to avoid surface-tension damage, preserving fine surface morphology for reliable imaging results.

Intended use
For research use only
