Thermo Microm HM 550 P Cryostat in Good Condition: Inspected, Tested, and Ready for your Lab
Thoroughly tested and serviced by our technical staff, this HM 550 P has been confirmed to slice smoothly and maintain a chamber temperature of -33°C when illuminated, just 2° off the manufacturer specification.
Included with this cryostat are a universal blade holder equipped with lateral displacement capabilities, an anti-roll plate, 4 specimen discs, trays, and shelves. Additionally, this cryostat is backed by a 90-day warranty.
While illuminated, this cryostat's chamber can hold its temperature at a chilly -33°C -- just two degrees above the minimum supported temperature of -35°C.
We disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted the knife holder and specimen disc chuck until the cryostat's slicing rivaled that of a new unit. Finally, we ensured that the automatic approach, advance, and retraction features worked smoothly.
We're confident this HM 550 P will deliver smooth, reliable performance.
Aside from some typical usage wear, this cryostat has been maintained well and continues to be in good condition. We advise that you review the photos for more details.
