[Histonet] RE: Paraffin Temperature Checks

[b427297 <@t> aol.com]

I like to use a chart recorder on paraffin dispensers in case the thing goes whacko over a weekend and boils the paraffin, then goes back to normal before anyone notices.

For our daily equipment, it's no big deal obviously.  But we have a "research" processor and embedding center that doesn't get used often-sometimes for a week or two, and if we're not touching the machine, it seems overkill to document paraffin temps daily.
