I can believe it! I have heard of the tissue disentergrating in decal(CAL-RITE) with heat. The stirrer was on and someone hit the heat knob and this was on a Friday. Well, on Monday there was no tissue, the cassette was chewed but it was there. Now we have tape across the heat knobs on all stirrer plates.

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 ......
