CA 2435904

An apparatus and method for disinfecting a microtome and cryostat is provided. The cryostat (10) comprises a chamber (19), a pump (40) communicating with the chamber, an ozone generator (80) and an ozone destroyer.(90) A microtome is located in the chamber. Oxygen molecules in ambient air are converted to ozone that is injected into the cryostat chamber, disinfecting the chamber and the microtome. After disinfection, the air and ozone present in the chamber is directed to an ozone destroying unit that eliminates any remaining ozone. This eliminates the risk of ozone exposure to nearby operators and minimizes damage to the cryostat and microtome from extended ozone contact.

L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé destinés à désinfecter un microtome et un cryostat. Le cryostat (10) comprend une chambre (19), une pompe (40) communiquant avec cette chambre, un générateur d'ozone (80) et un destructeur d'ozone (90). Un microtome est situé dans la chambre. Des molécules d'oxygène de l'air ambiant sont converties en ozone, lequel est alors injecté dans la chambre du cryostat, d'où la désinfection de la chambre et du microtome. Après cette désinfection, l'air et l'ozone présents dans la chambre sont dirigés vers une unité de destruction d'ozone destinée à éliminer l'ozone résiduel. Cela permet de supprimer le risque d'exposition des opérateurs à l'ozone et de limiter les dommages causés au cryostat et au microtome par contact prolongé avec l'ozone.
