Yet another reason to go microwave. This can't happen.

Hello everyone, 

When it is working correctly, our tissue processor moves a basket of tissues through 10 reagent containers. Last night it malfunctioned and suspended the tissues above the 80% ethanol container. The tissues were high and dry for ~ 9 hours (!) until I placed them into 70% ethanol this morning. I will process them next week. Has this happened to anyone else and what tissue artifacts can I expect? 

Thanks very much, 

Carla
