Has anyone ever heard of cassettes and tissue totally disintegrating in formic acid decal solution with a high heat on the solution for about 3 hours????? We had 3 cassettes with tissue for decal placed in our container on the platform for adding agitation. Someone had moved the knob to heat and this wasn't noticed until about 2-3 hours later, when it was boiling! We cannot locate the cassettes (I think someone misplaced them) and others think they totally disintegrated with the decal and heat...what does everyone think????? In all of my years of histology, never have I heard of anything so weird ......
