[Histonet] Formalin smell in the last paraffin station in vip 6 tissue tek

[Jamal]

Hi
If the paraffin are overheated it gives abnormal odor.
Recheck the paraffin bath temperature and the paraffin melting point then make sure to adjust the bath temperature at 2 degrees above the melting point.
Please update me.
