The Leica CM1850 UV is a gold-standard clinical cryostat engineered for rapid, high-precision sectioning of frozen tissue samples in histology, pathology, and Mohs surgery applications. This specific model features an integrated UV-C disinfection system to protect laboratory personnel from infectious pathogens during sectioning. It is equipped with a highly precise, stainless steel encapsulated microtome and a spacious cryochamber. Please note: This specific unit is being sold strictly for parts or repair due to a diagnosed refrigeration failure.
Condition Notes
- Condition: For Parts / Not Working.
- Diagnostic Status: The unit successfully powers on. The digital front display illuminates, the control panel responds to inputs, and the internal UV-C disinfection lamp successfully powers on and illuminates the chamber. However, the system does not chill or pull down to temperature. The exact cause of the refrigeration failure (e.g., compressor failure, R404A refrigerant leak, or relay issue) is unknown.
- Cosmetic & Mechanical Status: Cosmetically, the unit is in excellent condition. The internal microtome assembly, blade holder, and handwheel mechanism appear mechanically sound and move smoothly. The glass anti-roll plate and heat extractors are intact.
- Service History: The unit bears a recent PM (Preventative Maintenance) sticker from Pacific Medtechs indicating it was last serviced/inspected in October 2025.
- Sale Terms: Due to the refrigeration issue, this unit is sold strictly AS-IS, Where-Is, with no returns or guarantees of functionality. It is an ideal candidate for a biomedical equipment refurbisher or as a donor unit for microtome parts.
