[Histonet] Paraplast Plus

[Angela Bitting]

I've heard (from a Surgipath rep) that they have has problems with water
in the past. Just thought I'd pass this on. Don't know how true it is.

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?
