CM3000 cryostat contains two compressors for individual cooling of the chamber and stage, and provides both motor-driven and manual cutting for brain sections. It is currently set up for rodent brain sections, or for sectioning of small pieces from larger brains. Use of this Core facility is open to all members of the Center for Investigative Neuroscience, as well as other faculty in the institution. Usage is heavy, so times should be reserved in advance. To avoid contamination and breakage, users are expected to use their own cryostat knives.
Users share the cost of an annual service contract for the cryostat.
