[Histonet] Paraffin embedding following storage in 70% alcohol

[Hobbs, Carl]

The Most venerable Histologist ( JK) is correct...as always!
No way to go from 70% alcohol directly into Pwax
Have to remove ALL water before infiltrating with Pwax
Yes....also need to replace alcohol with Xylene/Histoclear before infil. with Pwax.
Sure, you can use Isopropyl alc to obviate xylene /Histoclear/equiv. but......Jury's out on that
