Several years ago we purchased colored paraffin from Polysciences. We got
both pink and amethyst (purple). They had other colors. The colors were
great for small biopsies. However, if we used colored cassettes (green,
yellow, lavender, blue) the paraffin darkened and we could hardly see the
tissue. So it's a double edge sword. If we used white cassettes all the
time, the colored paraffin would be great.
