[Histonet] GemCut Colored Paraffin

[Emily Lockman]

We use this paraffin and it does not cause any permanent color change to
the tissue. When it is removed from the processor after infiltration,
the tissue does have some color, but after deparaffinization during
staining, there is no color left.

Hope this helps.

Do any of you know if this colored paraffin by Polysciences, Inc.  
stains the tissue and if so would it auto fluoresce?
