[Histonet] cracks in paraffin

[Gayle Callis]

I suggest demo'ing one that has temperature adjustment.  We have a Sakura 
Finetek embedding center that allows temperature adjustment for the cold 
module block cooling, and all heated areas.

Hi All,

I also have a similar ? about cracks in paraffin blocks. We are demoing a 
new embedding center and have been getting cracks in our blocks. 
Unfortunately, the cold plate temp can't be adjusted and is supposedly set 
at -5C. Any other ideas how to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
