1 INTENDED USE

The floor standing open top cryostat MEV / MEV + is a laboratory device and designed for rapid freezing and cutting thin
sections of frozen specimens. It is intended for professional use in routine and research laboratories in the fields of biology,
medicine and industry. Thanks to its ergonomic design, it can be optimally operated both sitting and standing.
The device reliably cuts frozen samples in the cutting thickness range from 0.5 to 100 µm with a trimming thickness of up
to 750 µm. The cutting quality is guaranteed by the electronically controlled retraction of the sample during the upward
movement. Thus, a damage to the sample caused by grinding on the blade or knife is being prevented, increasing the service
life of blades and knives.
