[Histonet] Paraffin Block trimming

[Pamela Marcum]

Actually the warm up time is about 3 minutes and after that I can do blocks
much faster and cleaner than scraping.  I can't imagine it being slower to
be honest.  We love it as it save a lot of time.

I've been told that they are slower than scraping by hand. What's the
consensus?

We have two in our student lab.  It is safer, quicker, and there are a lot 
less paraffin shavings to clean up.

Hi,
    Does anybody use a paraffin block dewaxer ?  If so does it save any 
time, how well does it work?

Thanks,
