Leica Biosystems launches the Leica CM1950 Cryostat with DualEcoTec Cooling System
Leica Biosystems, a Danaher company has lanched the Leica CM1950 Cryostat with DualEcoTec Cooling System globally, according to a release.
With up to 3x faster specimen cooling and up to 2x faster chamber cooling, the system significantly reduces setup time and case duration while ensuring reliable sectioning, even during extended cutting sessions. The system accelerates workflows by providing rapid cooling for complex specimens and ultra-low temperatures to –50 °C for critical samples in surgical settings.
The Leica CM1950 Cryostat with DualEcoTec Cooling System is the first cryostat in its class to utilize a next-generation refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential. With up to 50% lower energy consumption compared to previous models, laboratories benefit from operating cost savings and reduced environmental impact—reinforcing the commitment from Leica Biosystems to sustainable solutions without compromising precision or performance.
The Leica CM1950 Cryostat with DualEcoTec Cooling System, for in vitro diagnostic use, prioritizes technician well-being by reducing heat emission by 33% and noise levels by 50% to create a cooler, quieter, and more comfortable work environment. Combined with ergonomic design enhancements that support long sectioning sessions, these improvements help reduce fatigue, improve focus, and support technician comfort—ultimately contributing to both productivity and consistent diagnostic outcomes in busy histology labs.
