PrestoCHILL is an advanced cryoembedding system that provides pathologists with frozen sections of permanent-like quality. Its innovative technology reduces the freezing time to 30 seconds and prevents ice crystal formation through ultra-fast freezing. With PrestoCHILL, even fatty tissues can be easily frozen without distorting their delicate structures, resulting in a perfectly flat plane surface that can be smothly cut in the cryostat.
Standardized freezing at -40°C for all tissue types, even for those which are most difficult to cut at the cryostat (such as breast and lymph nodes). Rapidly change out molds with a range of different sizes and designs.
Only 40 minutes to go from room temperature to the operating temperature of -40°C. At the set temperature, 6 biospecimens can be frozen simultaneously in only 60 seconds. Reduce trimming time by using Milestone's cryoembedding compound (MCC).
No liquid nitrogen, no CO2, no isopentane. No operation inside a fume hood is required. The user determines the exact freezing point without the need to handle or touch the frozen mold.
Standardized biobanking protocols for all tissue types ensure consistent results. Eliminate variability from manual freezing methods.
Excellent morphology and antigenicity preservation. The controlled freezing process minimizes ice crystal artifacts.
