AL•114 WATER BATH TISSUE FLOTATION

The Apex Labs AL•114 Tissue Flotation Water Bath is a specialized histopathological preparation bath engineered for flattening, preparing, and manipulating paraffin-embedded tissue ribbons sectioned from microtomes. Featuring a high-contrast matte interior surface, this instrument provides optimal structural visibility for floating specimen sections prior to slide mounting workflows.

Key Technical Specifications

• Thermostatic Temperature Control: Outfitted with an automatic high-sensitivity thermostatic circuit to maintain steady, overshoot-free fluid bath temperatures perfect for gentle wax expansion without distortion.
• High-Contrast Matte Surface (MOC): Built with a deep-drawn inner chamber fabricated from a durable, non-reflective black oxidized aluminum sheet to offer a crisp visual backdrop against pale tissue samples.
• Double-Walled Insulation: Constructed with a fully insulated dual-layer body shell that maximizes temperature stability, cuts power load overheads, and keeps outer walls cool.
• Electrical System: Engineered for full compatibility with standard single-phase 220/230 Volts AC electrical grid inputs.

Operational Advantages

• Glare Elimination: The specialized matte black finish stops harsh overhead laboratory lighting glare, drastically reducing operator eye strain during delicate section mounting.
• Uniform Thermal Flow: Aluminum’s high thermal conductivity ensures an even temperature grid, eliminating localized cold zones that cause structural section wrinkling.
