[Histonet] time tissue stays in paraffin

[Dunlap, Charles]

We have a software glitch in our tissue processor, it  stops in the
first paraffin and will not progress to paraffins 2 and 3 then complete
the cycle.   If we catch it quickly, we can instruct it to continue but
the cycle happens around 5:00 am so we sometimes are not here, tissuet
may spend an extra 30 minutes or even an hour in the first paraffin.
Estimated cost of repairing is a whopping  6 thousand $$.    Does this
have a major effect on quality of slides....sometimes ours are less than
ideal but I am not sure if the problem is in the paraffin cycle or
elsewhere...sectioning, staining, etc.  Any ideas?   Charles Dunlap
