Summary
The Bright Starlet is the world's smallest cryostat! It is a small, portable and convenient instrument with a choice of handwheel or lever operation. The compact chamber ensures rapid cool-down times, is easy-to-clean and resists common decontaminating agents. An insulated cover is used to ensure maximum efficiency of the refrigeration system and to reduce frosting when the unit is not in use. If the unit is transported, the chamber will remain cold for a prolonged period.

- Single refrigeration system (to -30 °C)
- Manual microtome with 2-12µm feed
- Magnacut blade holder with long-life disposable blades
- Magnaplate anti-roll plate system

An Ultraviolet Light Decontamination Unit option is available for the Bright Starlet 2212 Cryostat.
