Operation
- Prior to use fill the tissue-floating bath with water at least halfway full. Each individual user may wish to add more water to suit his/her own comfort level. It is also recommended not to fill the tissue-floating bath with too much water so that it has a chance to overflow. HAZARD: having water near or in contact with power supply may cause electrical shock.
- After making sure that the tissue-floating bath is plugged in, turn on the machine with the power switch (fig. #4) in the front. The power switch along with the heat indicating light should light up to indicate the machine is on and working.
- Adjust temperature control (fig. #3) to the proper temperature and allow ample time for the tissue-floating bath to warm up. Temperature range is from room temperature to 75°C. Once the tissue-floating bath reaches your predetermined set temperature the heat indicator light will turn off indicating that the heater is off and is holding at the temperature.
- Before using check the temperature to make sure that your water is not above the melting point of your paraffin. (Paraffin box should indicate melting level).
- After sectioning the tissue sample, float the paraffin section in the middle of your tissue-floating bath. The section should be easy to see as it is contrasted against the black PTFE bottom.
- Making sure your floating section is flat, swipe a slide underneath the floating paraffin section to pick up the section on the slide. After drying the bottom of the slide place your slide on the outer edge of the tissue-floating bath. This will help the paraffin section to dry out, flatten out and stick firmly to the slides. A slide warmer might be needed for large quantities of slides or extended drying time.
- Before trying to flat another paraffin section you can use a lint free disposable towel to wipe across the water to remove any left over floating paraffin.
- Please contact your dealer with any operating problems. Manufacturer warrants each item to be free from defect in materials and workmanship under normal use for one year from the date of purchase. Warranty does not cover damage resulting from abuse or misuse, repairs or alterations performed by unauthorized repair technicians.
