[Histonet] tissue cassettes

[Thomas Podawiltz]

Without seeing the blocks, that sounds more like cold molds being used, more Then, whether or not the tissues are kept in a dry, hot, well, or a wet well.

Hello :) I am encountering push back in our lab when I fill the embedding units with melted paraffin
in the embedding wells. The techs here like for the tissue cassettes  to sit dry (no wax) while in the
 embedding units. I find that the tissue rolls out of the sections while cutting because of a layering
effect between the tissue and the paraffin its embedded in. I have communicated
this but they tell me I'm "old school". Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this topic??
