[Histonet] Paraplast Plus

[Mike Safron]

We are using Paraplast Plus from Kendall (Tyco/Healthcare).  We have noticed
that after the paraffin melts (in embedding center and paraffin pot) that
there is what appears to be a straw colored liquid that is deposited at the
bottom of the units.  It would appear that the liquid is not miscible with
the melted paraffin. This liquid is causing problems with embedding.  Does
anybody know where this liquid is coming from?
