[Histonet] curious about soaking paraffin blocks.

Ditto.... chill and soak simultaneously on ice that has a little water on
it.

Our histotechs cool faced blocks on ice that is frozen in plastic storage
containers.  There is usually some melted ice water on top of the ice block
so in essence the blocks are cooled and soaked at the same time.

To start at the beginning again. Do the US-histotechs cool the blocks on a
coolplate and subsequently soak them in ice-water or ammoniacal water?
