[Histonet] processing tissues with silicone

[Patsy Ruegg]

Does anyone have experience processing tissues that have silicone in them.
We assume the silicone will be dissolved by paraffin processing?  I
suggested using xylene substitute on the processor (I use this for
processing cells on plastic constructs and it works well) or perhaps glycol
methacrylate embedding which does not need to use xylene.  Any ideas?

Best regards,

Patsy
