We have two AFS1 and 1 AFS2 automated freeze-substitution systems. Frozen samples can be placed inside an AFS, which controls the temperature of the sample, while dehydration, fixation, embedding and/or staining takes place. You can program your own temperature profiles.

Technical specifications

  • Leica EM AFS2
    • Temperature range: -140 to + 70°C
    • UV lamp (for polymerization of resins)
    • Link to Leica website
  • Leica/Reichert AFS1
