Yes I Have heard of total disintegration. A histologist friend in Maine told me about having to take the heat knob off a combination heat/stir plate when the heat knob was turned on instead of the stir knob and the cassettes of bone to be decalcified completely disintegrated by morning. This happened twice. The heat knob was removed before the third occurrence could transpire!

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 ......
