CRYOSTAR NX50 H LOW PROFILE
Histopathology service staffs across the nation rely on new technology to make care more precise, efficient, and safer for patients subsequently making their work less difficult. Advances in technology have impacted greatly diagnostic capabilities. Integrated and user-defined height adjustment allows us the option of standing or sitting while operating the machine. This capability improves the user s posture and lowers the risk of musculoskeletal stains. Â Must be capable of end-user height adjustment so that if desired the technician can operate the cryostat either sitting or standing for an ergonomic posture and be handicap accessible. Must be able to remove debris with little to no exposure to the technician. Overall dimensions must not exceed parameters designed in the new lab. Must be durable and able to withstand daily use. Must be capable of using high-profile, disposable microtome blades. The Vendor shall be responsible for ensuring that vendor employees providing work on the required equipment are fully trained and completely competent to perform the required work.Â
We are looking for the following characteristics:
a.           Must be fully motorized with precise control of the thickness of tissue specimens being sectioned in a chamber that accommodates -20oC and lower temperatures.
b.           Must provide accurate temperature control and quick freezing to avoid stress to delicate tissues or creating artifacts that interfere with diagnosis.
c.            Must be capable of end-user height adjustment so that if desired the technician can operate the cryostat either sitting or standing for an ergonomic posture and be handicap accessible.
d.           Overall dimensions must not exceed parameters designed in the new lab.
e.           Must be durable and able to withstand daily use.
Objectives:
1.           The primary objective for procurement of one Cryostat with fast cooling and precise temperature control at -20oC and lower temperatures.
2.           The second objective would be acquiring a cryostat with user-defined height adjustment capabilities for ergonomic purposes. This will enable the technician to use the cryostat by sitting or standing for ergonomic posture.
