Tissue Floatation Workstation - Water Bath and Slide Dryer - RT to 70°C Bath - 50 Slide Table

The Master Science Tissue Floatation Workstation puts a section floatation bath and a slide drying table in one low bench-top unit. Paraffin ribbons are spread on warm water, picked up on slides and dried on the heated rack beside the bath.

The bath is adjustable from room temperature to 70 °C and the drying table to 99 °C. Two PID channels control them independently, so changing one does not disturb the other. The unit serves pathology research, hospitals, medical schools, research institutes and food and drug inspection departments.

Common Problems and How This Workstation Helps

How the Master Science Tissue Floatation Workstation supports slide preparation:

• Wrinkled sections: steady bath temperature up to 70 °C.
• Separate bath and hotplate crowding the bench: both functions in one unit.
• Hard-to-see ribbons on the water: glare-free lighting under a clear dish.
• Cold bath at the start of the day: timed automatic start.
