Histopathology Laboratory Freezer

The Bright Clini-RF is a compact, ultra-low-temperature freezer that is free-standing and has a top-opening design. It is designed to rapidly freeze tissue specimens in preparation for cryotomy or storage, and it is a viable alternative to liquid nitrogen freezing systems. Two cylindrical chambers are located within the Clini-RF. The upper chamber is maintained at -40°C, while the lower chamber is maintained at -80°C.input:
output:The lower chamber can be filled with 3M’s Novec HFE-7100, which can be used to submerge specimens. Alternately, a specimen holder or chuck may be installed within an aluminum block. Specimens are initially frozen in the lower chamber and subsequently stored in the upper chamber.input:

Seven-day timer

The Clini-RF is equipped with a seven-day timer to facilitate energy conservation. This implies that the Clini-RF can operate in a “standby” mode, with both the upper and lower chambers operating at -40°C, during periods of inactivity, thereby conserving energy. The lower chamber can be cooled to -80°C and the device can be reverted to its standard operating mode at the commencement of the workday.input:

output: Substitutes liquid nitrogen freezing systems Replaces all types of carbon dioxide freezing systems

Provides a significant enhancement in laboratory safety

Requires minimal operator training due to its ease of use

The upper chamber is available for storage at a temperature of -40°C. Immerse specimens in 3M’s Novec Engineered Fluid HFR-7100. The typical rate of tissue cooling is 0.5°C/s.
