[Histonet] SurgiPath Paraffin

Tue Aug 15 14:26:58 CDT 2006

Have the same issues with paraplast that I purchase from Fisher.  It is a settlement (stays on the bottom/floor of the units) therefore I don't have any issues with it getting into my product.

In the paraffin production process, some dust and a bit o' dirt can get 
into the process - it's harmless.   I know if you call Ken Urban at 
Surgipath Industries in Richmond, Illinois - he will ease your mind.  He's 
a genius.

[Histonet] SurgiPath Paraffin

Hi all,
  I use the SurgiPath infiltration paraffin and the embedding paraffin in 
my lab....I've noticed a lot of "grit" in my paraffin chamber (embedding 
station) as well as the stations on the tx processor.  It's not lot# 
specific....I'm changing all paraffin stations on the processor every 
Friday as well as emptying out the embedding chamber (cleaning with xylene 
and 100% alcohol, as well as the filter) and by Monday, the grit is there 
again. Anyone out there having the same problem???Any help would be 
appreciated...
