Waterbath 1000 – Versatility, precision and safety for histology
The Waterbath 1000 from pfm medical is a laboratory device specially designed for delicate operations involving the preparation of human and animal tissue samples in histology. Used mainly for stretching paraffin sections, this water bath plays an essential role in the histopathological process, allowing precise and controlled handling of sections intended for pathological analysis. Thanks to its robust design and state-of-the-art electronics, it is suitable for medical laboratories, research institutions and industrial environments. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool in in vitro examinations, provided it is operated by qualified personnel.
Upon start-up, the Waterbath 1000 impresses with its extremely fast heating time, reaching the desired working temperature in just five minutes. The temperature can be adjusted with great precision via a touchscreen, which allows for smooth navigation and clear reading of information. This device also offers triple illumination of the water surface – white, blue or blue/white – ensuring optimal visibility without glare, which is essential for precise handling of cut samples.
The device has been designed for enhanced safety and ease of use. The mains connector is housed inside the casing, protecting the power supply from splashes. The Waterbath 1000 is also equipped with a minimum water level sensor, clear drain level markings and an overheating protection system, preventing any risk of damage even if the unit is left unfilled.
Made from a single block of clear anodised aluminium, the Waterbath 1000 housing is stylish, durable and very easy to clean. The inner tank, also made of black anodised aluminium, offers excellent visibility of the paraffin cups while minimising unwanted reflections. The robust, single-piece design of the device ensures exceptional durability, even with intensive use.
Compact and ergonomic, the Waterbath 1000 fits easily into any laboratory space. Its 1.77 litre tank capacity and 56 mm working depth make it suitable for a wide variety of samples. Whether for daily use or in demanding research protocols, it stands out for its reliability, ease of maintenance and consistent performance.
