The premium tissue flotation bath engineered around the complaints that histologists actually have. The deepest dish in the industry — so you stop hitting slides against the bottom of the basin. A built-in temperature sensor — no clumsy submerged probe taking up dish space. A 5-inch color touchscreen for Auto On/Off scheduling, timer, and heater controls. And a fan-less design — because nobody wants their histology station humming next to a microtome all day.
Why Histologists Complain About Flotation Baths
Ask any histology tech about their flotation bath and you'll hear the same three complaints. The dish is too shallow — either you're constantly topping off water or you're whacking the slide against the bottom when you lift a section. The temperature sensor is a submerged external probe — it steals dish real estate, tangles in ribbons, and always sits in the wrong spot. The fan never shuts up — forced airflow on a flotation bath disturbs the water surface, ruins ribbon positioning, and makes the bench noisy all shift.
The TFB200101 was specifically designed against those three complaints. The extra-deep dish — the deepest in the industry — gives clearance to lift sections cleanly every time. The temperature sensor is built into the unit, not submerged — more room for ribbons, no external probe to tangle. The fan-less design eliminates the airflow disturbance and the noise entirely. Paired with ±1°C microprocessor precision, a nonvolatile memory that keeps your setpoint through power cycling, and an Auto On/Off timer that warms the bath up before you arrive.
Deepest Dish in the Industry
Extra-deep glass basin — more water volume, more room for long ribbon sections, and clean clearance when lifting slides out of the bath. Fewer refills, fewer slide collisions.
HD Color Touchscreen
5-inch high-definition touchscreen with Auto On/Off scheduling, built-in timer, heater control, and light control. Intuitive interface — no manual required.
Fan-Less Design
Zero fan noise and zero airflow disturbance on the water surface. Silent operation at the histology station — and stable ribbon positioning across long runs.
Built-In Sensor + Slide Area
Temperature sensor built into the device, not submerged — frees dish space for ribbons. Integrated slide drying block holds 8 slides for one-step prep.
"Deepest dish. No external probe. No fan noise. Touchscreen control." — The four design changes that histologists have been asking flotation bath manufacturers to make for twenty years — all built into the TFB200101 as standard.

Ideal Applications
High-Volume Histology
Clinical diagnostic labs running hundreds of slides per shift — the deep dish, built-in sensor, and integrated slide drying area speed up the section-to-slide cycle measurably.
Pathology & IHC
Tumor specimen sectioning for immunohistochemistry, morphology analysis, and clinical pathology where section integrity and workflow speed both matter.
Shift-Start Benches
Auto On/Off timer warms the bath up before the first tech arrives — first slides of the day start at setpoint, not at ambient + 20 minutes of waiting.
What's in the Box
The TFB200101 ships ready for histology use — built-in temperature sensor means no external probe to connect, integrated slide drying block accommodates 8 slides.
