[Histonet] Re: paraffin processing times for brain

[Stephen Kum Jew]

Hi all

    I was wondering if anyone can send me please the optimal paraffin
processing times for brain autopsy tissue.

    Currently the blocks have cut and stained well but 4-5mm thick tissue
has expanded (bulged out) following cutting as if they had absorbed water.

    Solutions been all changed.

    thanks
    Stephen
