Does anyone have any experience with Formula R paraffin, from Leica, good or 
bad?  We currently use Paraplast X-tra but occasionally have troubles with 
compression, and we heard Formula R is harder and less likely to compress.



Thanks!

If sometimes you are experiencing compression problems it could be because your 
paraffin has some xylene contamination, or your blocks are not cold enough when 
cutting, or you are using a paraffin of lower melting point as needed for the 
tissue you regularly process.
Paraplast X-tra always worked fine for me. Check with them for a harder paraffin 
instead of changing to a different paraffin altogether.

Hello,

Does anyone out there have any experience with HistoGel?  It's Richard 
Allan/Thermo Fisher.  They claim that you can "embed" scant tissues in the gel 
and then process, embed, and cut as usual.  Just wondering how it works in the 
real world....
