What Does a Tissue Flotation Bath Do?
A tissue flotation bath holds warm water on which paraffin sections are floated so that their creases relax and they spread flat before being picked up on slides. This range holds one bath, the Tissue Flotation Bath. Its double-walled, glass-wool-insulated round chamber is 225 mm across and 70 mm deep, with a black anodised aluminium inner wall and a thermostat. Histology and pathology teaching labs use it beside the microtome. JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd), Ambala, India, makes it.

| Temperature control | Thermostat with control knob |
| Fittings | Pilot lamp, temperature control knob, cord and plug |
| Power supply | 220 V AC, 50 Hz, single phase |
How to Choose a Flotation Bath for the Histology Bench
- Contrast: the black inner wall of the Tissue Flotation Bath makes thin, pale wax sections easy to see and separate from a ribbon.
- Chamber size: the 225 mm round chamber takes a ribbon of several sections and leaves room to slide a glass slide under one.
- Different job from the wax bath: the Paraffin Embedding Bath keeps wax molten in covered pots for embedding; the flotation bath holds water below the wax melting point.
- Matching the microtome: sections from the Rotary Senior Microtome or the Digital Microtome, both cutting 1–50 microns, go straight onto this bath.
Tasks Covered by the Tissue Flotation Bath
| Task | Apparatus |
|---|---|
| Flattening paraffin sections and ribbons cut on a microtome | Tissue Flotation Bath |
| Separating single sections from a ribbon on the water surface | Tissue Flotation Bath |

The Tissue Flotation Bath is one of the bench units in the Microtomes category.
| Range | How it relates |
|---|---|
| Paraffin Embedding Bath | Keeps wax molten in covered pots for embedding the tissue before sectioning |
| Rotary Senior Microtome | Cuts serial paraffin sections from 1 to 50 microns for flotation |
| Semi Automatic Microtome | A motorised microtome for paraffin and plastic blocks, 0.25–60 µm |
| Slide Mounter | Rings finder circles and seals round coverslips on finished slides |
| Microtome Razor | A sectioning razor for cutting the sections that are floated |
Frequently Asked Questions
What water temperature should the flotation bath run at?
Keep the water about 5–10 °C below the melting point of the embedding wax. Water that is too cool leaves creases in the section, and water that is too warm lets the wax soften so far that the section spreads unevenly or breaks apart.
How do I stop air bubbles forming under floating sections?
Fill the bath with water that has stood for some time so dissolved air escapes, and lower the ribbon onto the surface gently at a slight angle. Tease any trapped bubble out with a fine brush before picking the section up.
How can stray tissue from one block end up on another slide?
Fragments left floating on the water can be picked up with the next specimen. Skim the surface with a strip of tissue paper between blocks, change the water daily rather than topping it up, and clean the chamber regularly.
Why do sections lift off the slide during staining?
Sections that were not drained and dried well, or slides without an adhesive coating, often lift. Use coated or charged slides, drain each slide upright after picking up the section, and dry it fully before staining.
