[Histonet] Paraffin

[Sherwood, Margaret]

We leave ours on all the time; we do shut off the cryo center each night (it
frosts up otherwise).

Subject: [Histonet] Paraffin

A question has come up recently about whether or not to completely turn off our
embedding center every night or not. I was under the understanding that the
constant solidifying and re-melting in the paraffin pot damages the structure of
the paraffin and makes it more brittle, etc. Is my memory correct, or do I need
to update my "hard drive"?
