<p>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.</p> |
