[Histonet] re-embedding blocks

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

I was just wondering how far above the melting point you could safely
go.

Jeanine,
Check your paraffin package and it should tell you the melting point of
your paraffin. Robyn

Hi everybody:
 
Just curious as to what oven temperature is generally used for melting
down paraffin blocks for re-embedding.  Is there a temperature that is
generally considered too high either for the paraffin or for the tissue?
 
Thanks!
