Normal Operation
WARNING: Due to the flammable nature of isopentane, the Histology Bath should always be
used under a fume hood. Be sure to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as splash
goggles and gloves.
NOTE: The Histology Bath operates at maximum cooling performance.
Place the Power Switch / Circuit Breaker on the front of the Histology Bath in the On position. The
compressor will start up and the unit will begin cooling. It will take about one hour for the unit to
achieve a -60°C / -76°F working temperature.
Once the unit has reached working temperature, remove the reservoir cover and slowly submerge
the immersion basket in the reservoir. Use the tissue mounts (not supplied) and chuck holder to
position the samples properly in the sample basket. Replace the reservoir cover.
