WATIF1 — Tissue Flotation Water Bath & Slide Dryer
WATIF1 is a compact tissue flotation water bath with an integrated slide drying area, designed for routine histology workflows.
It provides controlled warming for tissue section flotation and practical drying of microscope slides on a dedicated plate.
The instrument uses PID temperature control with an LCD display, supports operation up to 90°C (series specification),
and includes an over-temperature alarm for safer daily use.
OVERVIEW
WATIF1 supports day-to-day tissue section preparation by combining a controlled-temperature flotation bath and a practical slide drying plate in one compact workstation.
The LCD interface shows the working temperature and simplifies routine operation at the bench.
Typical use cases include histology and pathology labs, slide preparation before staining, and workflows where gentle, stable heating improves repeatability and throughput.
