Introduction
A tissue flotation water bath is a laboratory instrument used in histology and pathology for the floating and mounting of paraffin-embedded tissue sections onto microscope slides, and it is an essential instrument in the preparation of tissue samples for microscopic examination. In tissue processing, thin sections of the embedded tissue are cut with a microtome, and the sections are floated on the surface of warm water in the water bath, which gently stretches and flattens the sections and removes the wrinkles and folds, and the sections are then picked up on a microscope slide and dried; the tissue flotation water bath maintains the water at a controlled temperature, typically 40-50 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for the paraffin sections, and it consists of a water bath with a temperature control system, a digital display, and a removable tray, and it provides a stable and even temperature, with features such as accurate temperature control and a large water surface; the water bath is used with the paraffin sections, which float on the water surface and are picked up with the slide, and it is used in histology laboratories for the preparation of tissue sections for staining and microscopic examination. Tissue flotation water baths are used in histopathology laboratories, in research laboratories, in veterinary pathology, in educational institutions, and in many other applications, and they are essential for the preparation of high-quality tissue sections. With their controlled water temperature, tissue flotation water baths are essential for histology sample preparation.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this bath used for?
A: It holds warm water on which thin paraffin tissue sections float, allowing wrinkles to smooth before mounting onto slides in histology laboratories.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It follows laboratory equipment safety and related GB/T standards, with temperature verified. The relevant parameters are verified during final inspection before shipment, and compliance documentation or test reports can be provided on request for your quality records.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The bath carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering heater and controls. Damage from dry operation or spills is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained histology staff for section handling. We provide a manual and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: Performance should be verified periodically using calibrated reference standards, with results logged in the equipment record. Most users perform this check every 6 to 12 months or according to their internal quality schedule. We provide the procedure, reference materials and formal calibration service if required.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: These are disposable consumables and should be replaced after use to avoid cross-contamination. They are standard laboratory items available directly from us or from general laboratory suppliers, which keeps running costs low. We recommend keeping a small stock, and bulk pricing is available for regular orders.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include bath size, black interior for visibility, lids and timers. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: The instrument does not need professional installation. After unpacking, connect it to the specified power supply, allow it to stabilize and confirm the self-check passes. The package includes a printed manual, and our support team offers remote assistance throughout setup.
Q10: What sections are compatible?
A: It handles paraffin sections and slides in histology. It is not for non-tissue samples, high-temperature use, or dry operation.
