[Histonet] Leica Peloris Question

[P Sicurello]

Hello Listers,

Does anyone know why the recommended processing for the Peloris is 47o C?

I was taught (back in the dark ages) that high temperatures during
processing were not good for the tissue.  With the exception of the
paraffins, the processing temperatures were usually around 27 - 37o C.

47o C seems like it would sort of cook the tissue bits (especially the tiny
biopsies, like g.i.)
