[Histonet] Thanks For the Great Response

[DMBCMP <@t> aol.com]

I want to thank all the techs for their responses to my question about 
embedding W/WO melted paraffin.  Just in case anyone is interested, the many replys 
I got indicate that  labs across the US and UK, run about 60/40 in favor of 
embedding out of melted paraffin. In general, the techs with many years of 
experience seem to have been trained with this method,.... with the newer techs 
liking the dry method.  The reasons vary, but it really seems to simply be a 
personal choice.  I still prefer the wet method.  So good luck to us all and may 
we never lose someones precious specimen.
It COULD be yours!! Thanks again. This was most interesting.
