Thermo Scientific Microm CTM 6: The Automated Solution for an Efficient and Versatile Slide Mounting System
The Thermo Scientific Microm CTM 6 is an automated slide mounters designed to meet the needs of histology and cytology laboratories. This device combines performance, flexibility and safety, while offering exceptional optical quality thanks to the use of glass slides. With an impressive processing capacity of 450 slides per hour, the CTM 6 is ideal for laboratories requiring high throughput and consistent accuracy.
The CTM 6 stands out for its efficiency, processing hundreds of slides per hour thanks to a self-cleaning dispensing needle. This innovative system ensures that each slide is perfectly prepared, with no risk of contamination or optical defects. The dispensing needle is automatically cleaned after each use, eliminating residue and ensuring uniform application for each slide. This feature is particularly crucial in laboratories where precision and repeatability are essential for reliable diagnostics.
In addition, the device allows for quick and easy switching between different slide sizes and styles, offering unmatched versatility for a variety of applications. The CTM 6 is compatible with 24 x 40, 50, 55 and 60 mm slide sizes and can use No. 1 or No. 1.5 slide thicknesses. This flexibility allows laboratories to easily adapt to different sample types and protocols, increasing operational efficiency.
User safety is a priority with the CTM 6. Blade racks can be loaded and unloaded without opening the lid, minimising exposure to harmful vapours. This feature is particularly important for laboratories where chemicals are frequently handled. The internal vapour extraction system, with its permanent air flow and activated carbon filtration, ensures optimal protection against odours and volatile substances. This system helps maintain a safe and healthy working environment that complies with the most stringent safety standards.
Cleaning and maintenance of the unit are simplified, requiring no special tools. The components of the CTM 6 are easily accessible and can be removed effortlessly, allowing for quick and efficient maintenance. This feature is particularly appreciated in laboratories where time is a precious resource and minimising downtime is essential.
The compact design of the CTM 6 makes it perfect for laboratories where space is limited. With a hood size of only 30 inches, it can fit into almost any workspace. Despite its small size, the device offers easy access to all its components, making it easy to use and maintain. This smart design allows laboratories to maximise their workspace while benefiting from state-of-the-art technology.
