Cryostats for Histology Laboratories

Frozen sectioning plays a critical role in time-sensitive pathology applications. Medical Equipment Source provides new and remanufactured cryostats designed to deliver accurate tissue sectioning with controlled temperature stability across clinical, research, and specialty laboratory environments.

Each system is evaluated to ensure reliable performance, effective temperature control, and smooth integration into existing histology workflows. MES supports laboratories from initial selection through long-term use.

Selecting the Right Cryostat for Your Laboratory

Choosing the right cryostat requires careful consideration of specimen type, section thickness requirements, chamber temperature range, workflow volume, and available space. Cryostats combine a refrigeration system with precision cutting components to support frozen section preparation while minimizing ice crystal formation that can affect tissue quality.

The right system directly impacts section quality, diagnostic confidence, and turnaround time. This applies whether a lab is adding frozen section capability or upgrading existing equipment.

Medical Equipment Source works closely with lab managers, pathologists, and procurement teams to match equipment capabilities with real-world needs. We help evaluate factors such as temperature control, cutting stability, ergonomic design, specimen holders, ease of operation, and compatibility with staining and imaging workflows. This guidance supports informed purchasing decisions and reliable daily performance.

Cryostat Applications Across Laboratory Environments

Cryostats support frozen section workflows across a wide range of laboratory settings:

• Physician-Owned and Independent Laboratories rely on dependable systems for accurate frozen section preparation while maintaining practical day-to-day operation.
• Hospitals and Large Laboratory Networks depend on high-performance cryostats to support intraoperative consultations and rapid turnaround.
• University and Research Laboratories use adaptable platforms for teaching, training, and experimental applications involving tissue samples.
• Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Companies require reliable frozen sectioning for research, development, and quality control workflows.
• Veterinary, Industrial, and Specialty Laboratories benefit from flexible systems capable of handling varied specimen types.
• Government Laboratories operate in regulated environments that require consistent, validated performance.

Across all environments, MES helps laboratories select cryostats that support accuracy, efficiency, and dependable results.
