What it is:
The critical point dryer executes a fully automated and controlled process to dry delicate samples for SEM, and ensures the same high sample quality from every run.
Manufacturer:Leica Microsystems
Model Name: Leica EM CPD300
Instrument Overview: The Leica EM CPD300 critical point dryer dries biological specimens such as pollen, tissue, plants, insects, as well as industrial samples, like Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) or Micro fluids and gels in a fully automated and controlled process. It preserves the surface structure of a specimen which could otherwise be damaged due to surface tension when changing from the liquid to gaseous state.
