FAQs
How long does it take for the KD-3000 to reach its set temperature?
The system is designed for rapid cooling and can reach the desired operating temperature within 30 minutes of startup.
What is the lowest temperature achievable for quick-freezing?
The specialized quick-freeze shelf can reach extreme temperatures below -65°C.
How many tissue samples can the cryo table hold?
The large cryo table is designed for high-throughput, accommodating up to 24 tissue samples simultaneously.
What is the benefit of the Smart Sleep Mode?
It saves energy and extends the instrument's lifespan by maintaining a moderate temperature during inactivity, while ensuring a fast 15-minute wake-up recovery.
Can the UV disinfection cycle be interrupted?
Yes. While the standard UV disinfection cycle is 15 minutes, users can manually stop the process at any time.
What is the minimum section thickness possible?
The KD-3000 offers high precision, capable of producing sections as thin as 0.5 μm.
How does the hand wheel locking function work?
For enhanced user safety, the hand wheel includes a 360° locking mechanism that secures it at any position.
Does the device track sectioning progress?
Yes, a real-time counter on the LCD screen displays the total number of sections and the current section thickness.
What happens when the sample chuck reaches its travel limit?
The sample chuck features an auto-return function that resets it to the starting position upon reaching its limit.
Are there different modes for sectioning and trimming?
Yes, the interface allows for a convenient one-click switch between sectioning and trimming modes.
What type of lighting is used in the chamber?
The chamber uses low-voltage DC LED lighting, providing soft illumination with minimal heat generation and power draw.
Does the KD-3000 support automated defrosting?
Yes, the unit provides both scheduled defrosting for routine maintenance and instant defrosting for immediate needs.
