How Does It Compare with Other JLab Flotation Baths?
| Model | Bath construction | Temperature (as listed) | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This bath (EL-TFB-2338) | Double-walled; black anodised aluminium inner, painted mild steel outer, glass wool insulation | Thermostat from ambient | 225 mm diameter, 70 mm deep, 40 mm rim; pilot lamp |
| Tissue Flotation Bath (second listing) | Anodised bath | Temperature constancy of ±0.5 °C | Sections dried on the warmed rim of the bath |
| Water Bath Paraffin | PTFE black interior, powder-coated aluminium exterior | Reaches a stable 45 °C with 2.25 litres of water within 40 minutes; temperature set by the user | Described as a paraffin section flotation bath |
Choose this bath for routine section flotation where an insulated round chamber is enough and the black anodised inner wall gives good contrast. The second Tissue Flotation Bath listing states a tighter temperature constancy, and the Water Bath Paraffin is listed with a set-point control and stated heat-up time, so compare those figures if your work needs them.
What Is the Tissue Flotation Bath Used For?
Sections cut from a paraffin block on a microtome come off compressed and slightly creased. Floated on warm water, the wax softens just enough for the creases to relax and the section to spread flat; it is then lifted onto a glass slide, drained, dried and taken through staining. The water is normally kept a few degrees below the melting point of the embedding wax, so the section flattens without melting apart, and the black inner wall makes the pale, thin sections easy to see and separate.
The bath is used in histology and pathology teaching labs of medical, veterinary and life-science colleges, in botany and zoology departments that prepare permanent slides, and in research laboratories. Fill it with distilled water before switching on, wait until the thermostat has settled the temperature before floating sections, skim off loose wax fragments between blocks so they are not picked up with the next specimen, and never run the bath empty.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 baths.
- Temperature — the listing’s upper temperature figure is unclear, so state the working temperature you need and ask JLab to confirm it.
- Mains supply — the listed supply is 220 V AC, 50 Hz single phase; mention it if your laboratory uses another supply.
- Matching equipment — add a slide warming table, an embedding bath or a microtome to the same enquiry if you are equipping a histology bench.

What is the Tissue Flotation Bath used for?
Floating tissue wax sections cut on a microtome so that they flatten before they are mounted on slides and stained.
What are the chamber dimensions?
The chamber is 225 mm in diameter and 70 mm deep, with a 40 mm rim.
What is the chamber made of?
It is double-walled: the inner wall is black anodised aluminium, the outer wall is painted mild steel sheet, and the gap between them is insulated with glass wool.
What temperature range does it have?
It is thermostat-controlled from ambient with a temperature control knob. The upper limit printed in the listing is unclear, so state the temperature you work at and ask JLab to confirm it before ordering.
What comes with the bath?
It is supplied complete with a pilot lamp, temperature control knob, cord and plug, for a 220 V AC, 50 Hz single-phase supply.
What is the minimum order and dispatch time?
The minimum order is 10 units, supplied individually, and dispatch usually takes 7–10 working days. Every bath is visually inspected before dispatch; export transit time depends on the destination and shipping method.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, the working temperature you need, the destination country and port or city, preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, and any tender reference.
Who makes the Tissue Flotation Bath?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a biology lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The flotation bath is fabricated, insulated and wired at JLab’s own works instead of being bought from a trader, so colleges, research laboratories, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct; each bath is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Mongolia in East Asia, Serbia in Southern Europe, Paraguay in South America, Sudan in North Africa and Costa Rica in Central America and the Caribbean. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.
Equipment for the Same Workflow
- Slide Warming Table — warms slides carrying microtome sections so they dry flat before staining.
- Paraffin Embedding Bath — keeps wax molten in covered pots for embedding the tissue before sectioning.
- Rotary Senior Microtome — cuts serial sections from 1 to 50 microns for flotation.
- Digital Microtome — a cam-drive microtome with a digital scale for the same section range.
