5. General description
5.2 Product description
The Leica CM1100 is a portable compact cryostat for rapid freezing and manual sec-
tioning of tissue specimens.
Two carrying handles on the front and rear of the housing make it easy for two persons
to transport the instrument. The counterbalanced handwheel is lockable in the top po-
sition of the handle.
The corrosion-proof cryochamber is easy to clean and easily accessible after remov-
ing the lid. The cryochamber temperature is selectable between 0 °C and -30 °C.
The stainless steel rotary microtome is virtually maintenance-free in operation. It is de-
signed for sections in a range of 3 μm or 4 μm up to 20 μm.
All push button controls and the display are integrated in the control unit.
Important parameters such as set temperature and defrost time can be programmed.
Cryochamber defrosting takes 20 minutes. It is possible to program an automatic de-
frost cycle for a certain time of the day and to activate a manual defrost cycle when re-
quired.
