Home > Press > RMC-Boeckeler Introduces LN-Ultra Cryosectioning System for Serial Section Applications
Abstract:
RMC-Boeckeler recently announced the release of the RMC LN-Ultra cryosectioning system designed for both biological and industrial applications that require low temperature serial sectioning, especially of frozen hydrated samples. The LN-Ultra features a cryochamber designed for increased temperature stability so that ribbons of samples have consistent section thickness. In addition, the new design reduces humidity in the chamber, often providing a “frost free” cryo-environment even after a full day’s operation.
In its beta test phase in late 2014, the LN-Ultra is now in production with its first public exhibition scheduled at the Microscopy & Microanalysis 2015 Meeting in Portland, Ore., Aug. 3-6, booth #867.
The LN-Ultra is specifically designed for use with the RMC’s flagship PT-PC ultramicrotome, while the company’s legacy CRX universal cryosectioning system is designed for use on almost any modern ultramicrotome, including all of RMC’s PowerTome ultramicrotomes, its legacy MT-X and MT-XL models and recent Leica ultramicrotomes. The CRX remains the most cost effective choice for routine cryosectioning.

About RMC-Boeckeler
RMC-Boeckeler, based in Tucson, Ariz., has played a large part of the nanotechnology scene well before the popularization of the term. In fact, RMC is the continuing operation of the company that developed the first commercial ultramicrotome in 1953 for cutting ultra-thin sections of samples –the MT-1 ultramicrotome. This product eventually evolved into today’s RMC ultramicrotomes that can cut sections at thicknesses of 30 nm or less.
The RMC-Boeckeler brand is owned by Boeckeler Instruments Inc., through an acquisition in 2000. Since then, the brand spread its wings into other sample preparation equipment, including automated tape collecting systems for array tomography, cryosectioning systems, automatic EM tissue processors, glass knife makers, freeze substitution systems and a wide range of associated accessories used in both the material science and cell biology markets.
