RMC-Boeckeler recently announced the release of the RMC LN-Ultra cryosectioning system designed for both biological and industrial applications that require low temperature serial sectioning, especially of frozen hydrated samples. The LN-Ultra features a cryochamber designed for increased temperature stability so that ribbons of samples have consistent section thickness. In addition, the new design reduces humidity in the chamber, often providing a "frost free" cryo-environment even after a full day's operation.

In its beta test phase in late 2014, the LN-Ultra is now in production with its first public exhibition scheduled at the Microscopy & Microanalysis 2015 Meeting in Portland, Ore., Aug. 3-6, booth #867.
The LN-Ultra is specifically designed for use with the RMC's flagship PT-PC ultramicrotome, while the company's legacy CRX universal cryosectioning system is designed for use on almost any modern ultramicrotome, including all of RMC's PowerTome ultramicrotomes, its legacy MT-X and MT-XL models and recent Leica ultramicrotomes. The CRX remains the most cost effective choice for routine cryosectioning.
