Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Develops Advanced Cryostat Device
Performing tissue cutting operations at sub-zero temperatures for faster diagnosis of diseases in medical and research centers is one of the advantages of the device.
“The competitive advantage of this device is that it costs one-third of foreign models, has domestic support, is automatic, and enjoys quality at the same level as international standards,” Navid Honarzad, a representative of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“Its target market is university hospitals, research centers affiliated with the Ministry of Health, and pathology laboratories,” he added.
A cryostat is a machine used in neuroscience to cut frozen tissue sections for microscopic analysis. It allows tissue to be frozen quickly and then sliced into thin sections that can be mounted on microscope slides for further examination.
The frozen section technique is based on the principle of freezing the tissue directly to harden it, and cutting sections while the tissue is frozen.
It is applicable to the sectioning of fresh tissue samples, including animals, plants and human body tissues.
