[Histonet] Polyurethane processing

Thu Sep 11 15:12:36 CDT 2003

Hi Noel,
      Most of the time materials such as plastics are cut without
embedding. The heat and chemical interaction will interfere with pol or IR
examination of the material.  I am not sure why your cutting this material
but if you can give me a call we can discuss the options.

Any logistics comments on processing polyurethane material in either
paraffin or plastics?

Thanks.
