[Histonet] Sectioning problems with Fisher Replacement Paraffin

[Gilchrist, Eric P]

Good Morning,

When Fisher stopped producing The TissuePrep 2 Paraffin formulation last year, we were told by the Fisher rep that the new "Histoplast PE" was an equivalent replacement for the TissuePrep 2.  We have had nothing but irritation with this formulation with a magnitude increase in wrinkles and folds. In short, it is NOT an equivalent product.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  Is the "Histoplast LP" any better?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
