Expanding compressed tissue sections
Floating frozen sections after cryostat sectioning
Selecting optimal sections for mounting on slides
Warming staining reagents before use
Incubating certain histological assays
Preventing section adhesion and folding during mounting
Temperature range: 45°C optimal for paraffin sections
Temperature range: 37°C for frozen sections and reagents
Additional Technical Details: Optimal water temperature for paraffin sections: 45°C. Optimal water temperature for frozen sections: 37°C. Section float time: 10-30 seconds. The bath should be cleaned daily to prevent contamination. Distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup. The water should be changed after each batch of sections. The bath should be covered when not in use to prevent evaporation. The LED backlight improves visibility for pale sections.
Tissue floatation bath use in histology laboratories is essential for flattening paraffin-embedded tissue sections after microtomy. The primary use is removing wrinkles and folds from section ribbons before mounting on glass slides. This tissue flotation bath use is widely considered the best method for producing perfectly flat diagnostic sections.
The bath uses warm water at precisely 45°C to gently expand and flatten paraffin sections without melting the wax. The technician floats the ribbon on the water surface, selects the best section, and mounts it onto a glass slide. Micron's tissuefloatation bath is a top rated instrument for this critical histology step. The dark or illuminated background provides excellent contrast for visualizing white paraffin sections.
The best tissue floatation bath use from Micron includes floating frozen sections and expanding compressed tissues. The precise temperature control ensures sections flatten uniformly without air bubbles. The large working area accommodates multiple sections simultaneously. For histology laboratories seeking high-quality sections, proper tissue floatation bath use is one of the best investments in training. The digital temperature controller maintains consistent conditions.
Micron's tissue flotation bath use also includes warming reagents and incubating certain assays. The drain port simplifies water changes for hygiene. Contact us to learn more about proper tissue flotation bath use for your laboratory. We offer training and demonstration sessions.
