Water Baths - Tissue Float

Tissue float water baths are specialised laboratory instruments designed to support and preserve tissue samples during histological and pathological procedures. These baths maintain a controlled temperature, usually around 60°C, to prevent tissue shrinkage and ensure optimal processing conditions. They are particularly useful for preparing and floating tissue sections on glass slides, facilitating accurate staining and examination. The water bath's gentle heat helps to relax and evenly spread the tissue, ensuring proper adherence to the slides. Many tissue float baths come equipped with features such as adjustable temperature controls, digital displays for monitoring, and safety mechanisms to prevent overheating. By providing a stable environment for tissue handling, these water baths are essential tools in histology, pathology, and biomedical research, contributing to the quality and integrity of sample analysis.
