Chamber temperature inaccuracy
Section quality degrades before an alarm ever sounds.
−35 °C to −10 °C
Cryostat & cryotome service
Refrigeration and precision mechanics in one cabinet — and section quality suffers the moment either drifts.
Why us for this
Specialised, not general
Cryotome and cryostat work sits at the intersection of refrigeration and fine mechanical tolerance, which is precisely the combination this business is built around.

Common faults
What usually goes wrong
Most of these are progressive. Caught early they are maintenance items; caught late they are emergencies.
Refrigeration performance loss
Longer pull-down times are the first honest indicator.
Frost accumulation
Frost in the chamber affects both temperature control and the work itself.
Sectioning mechanism wear
Advance and retraction tolerances drift with use.
Defrost cycle faults
A defrost that runs at the wrong time is disruptive; one that never runs is worse.
Service scope
What a visit covers
- Chamber temperature verification and calibration
- Refrigeration system diagnosis and service
- Defrost cycle function checks
- Sectioning mechanism inspection
- Controller and display verification
Included with plans
Put this on a schedule
Reactive service means every fault arrives as an emergency. A preventive maintenance plan turns most of them into a line item on a calendar instead.

Questions
About cryostats & cryotomes
It can be either temperature or mechanics, and the two present similarly. Verifying actual chamber temperature against the display is the quickest way to separate them.
We inspect and service the sectioning mechanism alongside the refrigeration system. Where a specialised mechanical component is involved, we will tell you plainly what is in scope.
