Description
Tissue Flotation Water Bath & Slide Dryer
A Tissue Flotation Water Bath & Slide Dryer is a dual-function histopathology workstation used in medical, research, and diagnostic laboratories to prepare paraffin-embedded tissue sections for microscopic examination.
Key Uses
- Paraffin Section Expansion & Flattening (Water Bath): Thin tissue slices cut by a microtome are placed on the warm water surface (typically maintained around 40°C to 50°C). The gentle heat causes the paraffin wax and tissue to thermally expand, eliminating wrinkles, folds, and compression artifacts.
- Slide Mounting: Once flattened on the water, the delicate tissue section is scooped or picked up cleanly onto a glass microscope slide.
- Moisture Evaporation & Drying (Slide Dryer): Mounted slides are placed on the heated drying plate or oven compartment. Gentle heat and airflow evaporate residual water from beneath the tissue.
- Paraffin Melting & Tissue Adhesion: The slide dryer warms the section above the melting point of paraffin (around 50°C to 65°C) to firmly bond the tissue sample to the glass slide, preventing it from washing off during subsequent staining and immunohistochemistry.
- High-Throughput Workflow Support: Combining flotation and drying in a single benchtop unit reduces handling steps, speeds up turnaround times, and maintains consistent quality across multiple clinical biopsy or research samples.
