[Histonet] processor died overnight

Yep start at last alcohol in other processor, xylene & wax as usual.
If the tissues have remained covered in alcohol, you should not have a problem

Subject: [Histonet] processor died overnight

Hello Histoworld,

I came in this morning to find that the processor died halfway through process last night. The tissues are in 100% ETOH exactly half point. We do have a back- up processor. In your professional experiences, would these tissues be salvageable? Could I create a new program on the backup processor that finishes the process from that point and transfer the tissues over?

Thanks.
