Starlet 2212 Cryostat

The Bright Starlet 2212 is the world’s smallest cryostat! It is small, portable and convenient instrument with a choice of hand wheel or lever operation. The size of the Starlet makes it ideal as a back-up instrument or for use in laboratories where space is at a premium. Fully portable, it can be transported with ease from laboratory to laboratory and is a must use in the ‘field’ – the possibilities are endless. If frozen sectioning is infrequent and a full sized, full-priced cryostat cannot be justified, the Starlet does the job and fits any budget. Inexpensive and reliable, the Starlet is ideal where space and funds are limited, really is unique among cryostats.
