For some sectioning work it is necessary to cool a specimen below room temperature. The Bright Solid State Freezer incorporates a Peltier device cooling stage and will permit specimen cooling from ambient to -25°C or lower, depending on conditions.
The equipment consists of a control unit and a cooling stage, with the cooling stage available in 40mm x 40mm. Primarily designed for use with the Bright 8000 base sledge microtomes, the Solid State Freezer may be used with other rotary and sledge microtomes.

The Solid State Freezer fits to the microtome in place of the normal specimen holder. It has a water inlet, a water outlet and an electrical connection to the control unit. The control unit permits temperature control. The control unit also has a built in safety device, which detects low water flow. After sectioning, the specimen is quick and easy to remove.
The Solid State Freezer requires a flow of coolant to dissipate the heat in the peltier head. It has been shown that recirculating chillers are greatly more efficient and cost effective than tap water; and of course offer sustainable benefits of reducing water waste.
