Our Cryostat Testing Process
1. Initial Performance Test: A performance test is conducted to verify that the refrigeration system is functioning correctly.
2. Disassembly and Cleaning: The unit is fully disassembled and cleaned using dry ice blasting. For units equipped with specimen cooling heads, all silicone lines are replaced and refilled with new silicone fluid.
3. Interior Maintenance: All interior panels are thoroughly cleaned and repainted. Silicone fluid is highly acidic, and leaks often result from poor routine maintenance.
4. Refrigeration Inspection: Pressure readings are recorded, refrigeration lines are reinsulated, and any non-cooling issues are diagnosed and repaired. Amp draw tests are conducted to verify that the compressors are operating within manufacturer specifications.
5. Functional Checks: All features are tested to ensure proper operation, including: defrost system, nebulizer, peltier element, vacutome, specimen cooling system.
6. Knife Assembly and Cutting Wheel: The knife assembly is removed, cleaned, and oiled for proper function. The cutting wheel is adjusted for smooth operation.
7. Final Assembly and Appearance: All exterior panels are reassembled. If necessary, the cryostat is repainted to restore its appearance.

Our Cryostat Technician Checklist
After our cryostat technician finishes the initial testing process, this Cryostat Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be available publicly after the unit has undergone tech completion and is ready for the customers.
Cryostat Applications
- Diagnostic Histopathology - Rapid assessment of malignancy in biopsies. Pathologists can quickly examine tissue (e.g. tumor margins) to guide surgeons during operations.
- Research Applications - Preserving RNA or DNA in tissues for molecular analysis. Studying embryonic tissue structure. Sectioning tissues for labeling with antibodies to study protein localization.
- Preclinical and Animal Studies - Tissue processing from model organisms for toxicology, drug development, or genetic studies.
