METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISINFECTING A MICROTOME CRYOSTAT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for disinfecting a microtome cryostat (1) comprising a defrosting phase (11), provision (13) of a vaporous disinfection agent (2) which acts upon the closed cryostat chamber (3) and a period of time (14) during which said disinfection agent (2) acts, in addition to a device for carrying out said method. According to the invention, fast and effective disinfection and rapid restarting of a microtome cryostat (1) is possible with secure drying, the temperature difference (ΔT1, ΔT2) being produced after the period of time (14) in the cryostat chamber (3) whereupon the precipitated disinfection agent (2) is removed (18) to a cold area.
