AFS 2
Leica
Automated freeze substitution System Temperature monitored between -150°C and +65°C Liquid nitrogen is used for maintaining low temperature An UV lamp allows resin polymerization EM FSP (Freeze Substitution Processor) module allows the automatic reagent handling
This system is used for low temperature dehydration of fixed biological samples, either by progressive lowering of temperature (PLT) or by freeze-substitution of frozen samples. AFS also allows resin polymerization at low temperature.
