// Frequently asked

Cryostat repair & preventive maintenance — common questions

What does cryostat preventive maintenance include?

Inspection and cleaning, refrigeration and temperature checks, defrost/vacuum verification, blade-holder and anti-roll plate adjustment, lubrication, safety checks, and decontamination — with a service certificate documenting the work.

How quickly can you repair a down cryostat?

We prioritize cryostat repairs because a down unit can cancel a Mohs surgery day. Reach out and we’ll triage the fault and get you back to sectioning as fast as possible.

Do you service all cryostat brands?

We service the cryostat brands commonly found in Mohs, dermatopathology, and histology labs. Tell us your make and model and we’ll confirm.

Why does cryostat maintenance matter for compliance?

Beyond uptime, a maintained, decontaminated, temperature-verified cryostat supports specimen quality and safety expectations that pathology accreditation bodies care about. We leave behind the service record.

How often should a cryostat be serviced?

Typically at least annually for PM, plus repair as needed. High-volume Mohs labs often benefit from more frequent preventive service.
