Tissue floating baths

BIOSOLUTE® Formaldehyde solution 4.5 % is neutrally phosphate-buffered and stabilized with methanol. This formaldehyde solution is ideally suited as a fixative and preservative for tissue samples in histology.

The Paraffin section flotation bath is designed to assist with the handling of paraffin wax samples in histology and pathology laboratories. It is essentially a hot distilled water floating bath that allows for the meticulous manipulation and location of sections onto glass slides. This Apparatus achieves a stable 45 °C using 2.25 litres of water within 40 minutes. The stability and accuracy have been improved due to the change of control which now also allows the user to set the temperature as opposed to the arbitrary power, thereby reducing the risk of overheating sections. It has a PTFE black interior and powder-coated aluminium exterior, which makes it virtually maintenance-free, extremely easy to clean and allows for improved visibility of floating sections.

The lid is not included and can be ordered separately.

The Paraffin Wax Dispenser delivers quickly and conveniently on-demand molten wax, e.g. for histological applications.. It is designed for melting up to 6 kg of pelletised wax at a time, and has a large 7.5 l capacity tank.

• Anti-microbial coating (Ag+) to inhibit growth of bacteria
• Safety features include over-temperature cut-out at 120 °C
• Heated tap and inner filter screen (0.5 mm mesh) to prevent blockages
• Non-drip lever tap
• Small footprint

The low lying ring set enables the condensed water to drop back into the bath.

For use in histological, clinical and bacteriological laboratories for stretching and drying cut tissue samples.

• With »GFL Technology« for the highest quality, reliability and durability
• With bath body made of black anodized aluminum
• Wide heated bath rim for depositing and drying the samples

For temperatures up to 110 °C. The high-grade, stainless steel bath (Ø106 x 100 mm) is built securely into a special steel housing. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat which is exact up to ±1.5 K and better. A go-dry protection system prevents overheating when there is not enough water in the bath. Additional protection is provided by temperature fuse.

The W 16 also has a screw-in socket for a retort rod.
