Product Description
MRC HIS-PII Histology Tissue Flotation Bath
is a compact histology tissue flotation bath designed for flattening paraffin sections before slide mounting. Built for routine pathology and histology workflows, this tissue flotation bath combines microprocessor-based temperature control, PID-regulated heating, and a removable transparent glass dish to support consistent section handling and easier cleanup. A bright digital display shows operating status in real time, while the low-voltage illumination system helps improve visibility during section transfer and orientation. Compared with improvised warm water dishes or hot plates, a dedicated histology flotation bath gives you better temperature stability, more repeatable section flattening, and a cleaner working surface. Compared with larger flotation workstations, the HIS-PII offers the core bath function in a smaller footprint that fits crowded benchtops more easily. For labs looking for a reliable paraffin section flotation bath with clear controls and practical day-to-day usability, the MRC HIS-PII is a strong fit.
Applications
Histology and Pathology Laboratories
- Flattening paraffin-embedded tissue sections prior to mounting
- Reducing wrinkles and folds during ribbon section handling
- Supporting routine slide preparation workflows at the bench
Hospital and Clinical Laboratory Environments
- Consistent water bath preparation for daily sample throughput
- Compact installation where bench space is limited
- Clear temperature control for standardized lab procedures
Research, Teaching, and Academic Labs
- Training users on proper tissue section flotation techniques
- Supporting histology method development and instructional work
- Providing a dedicated paraffin section water bath instead of general-purpose heating alternatives
Features
- Microprocessor-based automatic temperature control helps maintain a stable working environment for repeatable section flotation.
- PID-controlled heating supports quick, even heat-up and reliable ongoing temperature regulation.
- Bright digital real-time display makes it easy to view setpoints and operating status during use.
- Removable transparent glass dish simplifies cleaning and gives a clear view of the flotation area.
- Low-voltage illumination system improves visibility during section handling and observation.
- Automatic memory and restoration functions help preserve previously stored settings after startup.
- Temperature sensing components are described by the manufacturer as abrasion- and corrosion-resistant for dependable long-term use.
- Compact single-function design is a practical alternative when you need a dedicated tissue flotation bath without stepping up to a larger integrated flotation workstation.

FAQs
What is the MRC HIS-PII used for?
The HIS-PII is used as a histology tissue flotation bath for flattening paraffin sections on warm water before transferring them to microscope slides.
How is a tissue flotation bath different from a general-purpose water bath or hot plate?
A dedicated tissue flotation bath is built specifically for section handling. It offers controlled heating, a defined flotation area, and better visibility than improvised warming methods, which helps improve consistency during slide preparation.
Is the bath dish removable for cleaning?
Yes. The HIS-PII uses a transparent removable glass dish, which helps simplify routine cleaning and maintenance.
Is this model a full flotation workstation with integrated slide dryer?
The supplied product information describes the HIS-PII as a flotation bath. It is a great choice when you need dedicated section flotation rather than a larger multi-function workstation.
