10 Instructions for Use V 2.4 RevD – 10/2012
3.1 Overview – instrument parts
3. Instrument components and specifications
• The instrument is distinguished by a simple, modular design and a
powerful refrigeration unit with precisely controlled cooling perfor-
mance.
• High temperature consistency ensures homogeneous blocking out and
prevents tearing of the paraffin blocks.
• High cooling performance ensures that the instrument's working
temperature is reached quickly.
• Optimized temperature distribution in the cold plate prevents dripping
condensation.
• The generously-dimensioned cooling surface has room for around
70 blocks.
• Designed for use with the Leica EG1150 H paraffin embedding station.
