CryoJane paraffin tape-transfer system

The CryoJane Tape-Transfer System creates frozen sections as thin as 2 microns with the same quality as sections cut from paraffin blocks. Sections are wrinkle-free, uncompressed, and fully intact when bonded to the microscope slide. The CryoJane uses adhesive coated slides and adhesive tapes to capture sections instead of using an anti-roll plate or brush. CryoJane is suitable for routine cryosections and is indispensable for sectioning difficult tissues including fatty breast and undecalcified bone.

• Preserves sample morphology
• Increases quality, reduces repeats and streamlines workflows
• Allows fast and virtually effortless serial sectioning

With the CryoJane Tape-Transfer System, thin tissue sections remain unflawed even after mounting. This makes CryoJane ideal for applications that require perfectly thin sections to clarify structural relationships and reveal morphological detail. The CryoJane Tape-Transfer System is adaptable to most cryostats on the market.

• Sections can be fixed "anhydrously" to preserve virtually all fine structures present in the snap-frozen block of tissue
• Water-soluble enzymes, antigens and nucleo-proteins are preserved in situ
• With appropriate fixation and staining, true localization of enzyme and antigen activity can be visualized
• The bond between the section and the slide is solvent resistant and permanent, preventing section loss during staining

Applications

• Histological stains
• Immuno stains
• In situ hybridisation
• Laser Microdissection and Laser Capture Microdissection
• Frozen tissue arrays and other molecular diagnostic studies
