Temperature-controlled bath for tissue freezing

Optimize your research with a reliable temperature-controlled bath that rapidly freezes tissue samples, preserving their integrity for precise analysis and reducing the need for cumbersome dry ice handling.

Rapidly Freezes and Preserves Tissue Samples

The FTS HistoChill Temperature-Controlled Bath by SP Industries is engineered to meet the demands of histology and pathology laboratories for precise tissue freezing. Unlike conventional methods, this bath uses mechanical refrigeration to rapidly cool samples to -80°C, avoiding the time-consuming logistics of dry ice. This process minimizes ice crystal formation, which is critical for accurate histological analysis. Ideal for applications involving biological samples, Mohs surgery, and pathology specimens, it ensures consistent temperature control with its built-in magnetic stirrer and digital set points. With a capacity suitable for both bench-top operations and more complex R&D projects, the HistoChill integrates effortlessly into laboratory workflows. The device supports a wide range of material handling, accommodating both liquid and solid states, and operates with manual control for tailored precision. Energy consumption is optimized through efficient thermal management, and its insulated construction enhances temperature uniformity. The equipment is available in two configurations to cater to general or more stringent tissue-specific applications, with customization options and engineering support available for specialized needs.

Benefits
