Equipment

The facilitiy is equipped with state-of-the art instrumentation, like infiltration and embedding automats, motorized rotational microtomes, cryostats, vibratomes, a declaocking device for antigen retrieval.

Equipment for sample preparation and immunostaining

• Infiltration automat for paraffin samples (Thermo Fisher, STP 420 D)
• Paraffin embedding station (Slee MPS1)
• Antigen retrieval device (DC Module from Biocare Medical) for demasking antigens prior to immunolabeling

Equipment for sectioning

• 3x Cryostats (1x Microm HM560, 2x Thermo Fisher NX70) for low temperature sectioning
• 3x rotational microtomes (Microm 340E, Microm 355S, Leica RM2255) for sectioning paraffin or resin embedded samples at room temperature
• Vibratome (Leica VT 1200)
