What is a flotation bath and cooling plate in pathological anatomy?

These equipment are part of the essential requirements in a laboratory of pathological anatomy, complement the services offered by labtech, these devices work with tissues, important samples in the processes of histology and pathology, each with a particular function, fulfilling a goal, improving the capabilities of the laboratory.

It is important to have a global supplier that provides equipment of the highest quality and at the best price, we at KALSTEIN, as a company MANUFACTURER of laboratory equipment, provide the ideal conditions to give answers of the products that cover the requirements that modern pathology laboratories demand. 

Float Bath

It is a equipment used in histology and pathology, both processes that are part of the pathological anatomy, flotation baths, are designed to facilitate the handling of tissue samples, treated with paraffin wax; it consists of a hot distilled water bath, which offers a better and easy handling and location on the glass layers; for this equipment to work properly it must be placed on a firm table due to the movement that occurs in the slats during the flotation bath. 

Now, because you need a flotation bath in your laboratory, because it allows the ribbons of tissue to extend, then fish them and these are fixed to the object holder. Another important aspect when you acquire this equipment is the need to have a microtome, preventing that in the transfer of the fabric ribbons to the equipment these are broken and touch make other cuts, wasting time.

Float Bath Target

The main function of this equipment is to extend the ribbon of tissue so that it adheres to the foil, also helps that the cut of the tissue can be fully stretched to later fish it and in this way the tissue remains intact.

It works in a very simple way, it should be placed a substance normally water, because, it facilitates to be able to observe impurities and at the same time carry out an effective cleaning, and mainly for the tissue to stretch; in the process of fishing, slides play a fundamental role, since these are the ones that hold the different sheets of tissue, for their subsequent dewaxing process. 

Parts Of The Floating Bath

This flotation bathroom equipment is commonly circular or rectangular shape depending on the model, has several parts, specifically has a bucket, controls, on and off button, a regulator, thermometer, adjustment knob.

Some characteristics according to the manufacturer of the flotation bath for paraffin cuts, has an interior part made of anodized aluminum for optimal visualization of the cuts, Coated exterior, Temperature regulation from ambient to 90°C, Pressure +- 105°C, Capacity: 1.7 liters. At KALSTEIN we offer you a high quality YR452 fabric flotation station with keyboard control, automatic microcomputer memory, LED lighting and digital tube display.

Cooling Plate

This equipment is indispensable in any laboratory of pathological anatomy, mainly in the area of histology, since the cooling process is essential to make sections of paraffin blocks of good quality, besides that it is impossible to make efficient cuts without the cooling plate, the use of this equipment ensures that the cutting is much easier and effectively improves the paraffin blocks, saving considerable time. 

The cooling plate model that we offer you in KALSTEIN, is a cryoplate adopted with a new inverter compressor, which makes the paraffin blocks of the fabric cool quickly. This model has a Teflon coating, which ensures easy cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Target Of The Cooling Plate

It offers a cooling process in cold wax allowing thinner sections, which will support the toughest elements within the tissue sample, facilitating cutting, it is recommended to set a suitable temperature of the cooling plates, for paraffin blocks, so that the sample does not crack and should be discarded.

You can freely adjust the temperature of your cooling plate, in KALSTEIN we offer you a YR model that gives you that option; preventing wax on the fabric from getting cold or breaking cold.

Characteristics Of The Cooling Plate

  • Low voltage LED lamp, safe and bright.
  • Manual and automated operating modes.
  • Flexible heating mechanism and PID technology
  • Trim plates on both sides for a handkerchief block fit
  • The freezing temperature can be adjusted due to the use of a new type of inverter compressor.
  • Flexible module configuration options through a layout that separates the Cryo module from the embedding module
  • Seven workspaces are individually controlled and operate independently without interference from each other.
  • A large magnifying glass can be adjusted in any direction and angle, suitable to include extremely small tissue samples.
