Setting the Parking Plate
The parking plate is used to cool the heat extractor and available in
two sizes of standard and large (optional).
For greater cooling efficiency, set the parking plate on the Cryo+ and
press the "Cryo+" button to start cooling.
Setting the Heat Extractor
The heat extractor is a tool that presses the Object Holder from
above to shorten the time needed to freeze the tissue sample.
The heat extractor is available in two sizes of standard and large
(optional).
Put the heat extractor on the parking plate for greater cooling
efficiency.
1. Set the heat extractor at the tip of the arm installed on the
Cryobar rail in the chamber [1].
2. Put the heat extractor on the parking plate [2].
3. Press the "Cryo+" button among the buttons on the right side of
the screen, and the Cryo+ will be cooled to -50°C or below to cool
the parking plate and the heat extractor on top.
The Cryo+ will be cooled continuously for 15 minutes after the button
is pressed.
The heat extractor can be put directly on the parking plate
without using the arm.
Sandwiching the tissue sample to be frozen between the Cryo+
and heat extractor shortens the freezing time.
