The NEW 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 out bath that allows for the meticulous manipulation and location of sections onto glass slides.

The NEW Paraffin Section Flotation bath has improved heat up times achieving a stable 45°C using 2.25 litres of water within 40 minutes. The stability and accuracy have also 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.

The Paraffin Section Flotation Bath 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 MH8517X1 Paraffin section mounting bath is designed for use as a heated, distilled water floating out bath for the manipulation and location of paraffin wax sections onto glass slides.

The black PTFE coated interior gives a high contrast background for locating specimens.

The MH8517X1 Paraffin bath uses an electronic temperature controller with thermocouple sensor feedback designed to supply power to a silicon rubber mat heater in order to maintain accurate water temperatures. A self resetting over temperature cut out device is fitted as an integral part of the heater mat in order to protect against any over temperature conditions.

This product is supplied with an IEC moulded cord and lead set for ease of operation and the IEC socket houses protection fuses for both the live and neutral power supply lines. A White neon indicates the presence of power while the Amber neon indicates when the heater is in an ‘on’ state.
