Leica CM1860 UV - Cryostat for Histopathology Laboratory Applications
The Leica CM1860 UV was developed with an emphasis on diagnostic confidence, safety and ergonomics. The high-throughput cryostat creates diagnostic confidence by reliably producing quality sections that help provide an accurate diagnosis.

Staff near the cryostat is protected by the safe, highly effective, ozone-free UVC disinfection and the antimicrobial nano-silver coating, AgProtect, which provides outstanding safety by reducing exposure to surface pathogens.

The unique premium blade holder adds to the personal protection and ergonomics with a designated finger guard, blade ejector and palm rest for brush technique users.

Leica CM1860UV – an oasis of safety and comfort in your laboratory.

Minimized potential biohazardous exposure
UVC disinfection and AgProtect nano-silver coating provide the ultimate protection – both inside the cryochamber and on the outside surfaces - minimizing the contamination risk from infectious material.

Less maintenance - more consistent sections
Leica Biosystem's precision microtome with stepper motor makes it easy to obtain consistent high quality cryosections. To save time during cleaning and reduce maintenance, the microtome is completely encapsulated.

Protection and comfort
Blade handling is safer and easier thanks to the special blade holder CE with ejector, finger guard and compatibility with the famous Leica magnetic brush. Brush technique users will love the unique palm rest – a great help during sectioning.

The well-organized work space
Create the ideal work environment you've always wanted. The flexible and efficient Leica CM1860 UV workspace includes a new object plate holder, a movable shelf and designated slide slots and tool storage areas on top of the instrument.

Shortest learning curve
Control buttons labeled with intuitive icons shorten the time to sectioning. No need to scroll through multiple long menu options. Save time by directly setting the function you need.
