K850

Key Features

  • Vertical chamber with top filling and bottom draining
  • Side viewing port – good visibility
  • Built-in adiabatic cooling and thermoelectric heating – accurate temperature control
  • Fine-control needle valve pressure let down – precise control of decompression avoids potential damage to specimens by uncontrolled pressure release
  • Built-in magnetic stirrer- enhanced solvent exchange
  • Pressure monitoring with safety cut-out for over pressure
  • Chamber: vertical, diameter 32mm, height 47mm with glass viewing port and safety shield

Details

The K850 combines versatility and ease of operation. Built-in thermo-electric heating and adiabatic cooling allow precise temperature control. The vertical pressure chamber (32 mm diameter x 47 mm) has a side viewing port, which gives a clear view of the liquid meniscus during filling. A magnetic stirrer ensures optimal mixing and exchange of process fluids.

  • Semi-automated critical point drying of delicate biological samples, high-moisture content samples, and MEMs.

Critical point dryer liquid carbon dioxide (CO₂) requirements

  • All models require a cylinder of liquid CO₂ fitted with a siphon tube (normally indicated by a vertical white stripe on the cylinder). If there is any doubt regarding the presence of a siphon tube, advice should be sought from the supplier

Sample Holders

  • Standard specimen holder with 12 individual specimens wells (each 8 mm Ø x 8 mm H)

Holders for TEM grids and bulk specimens also available upon request.
