Happy Friday all and a long weekend too! I am in a research area where all tissue received is fixed, processed, and embedded as a general rule but we occasionally have blocks that require re-embedding. Today I was re-embedding very old blocks today and some of my pans have a brown sludge in the bottom of them that is probably degraded paraffin as the blocks were from 1970-1980 roughly. We don't normally have a way to clean our pans but this is something that is not going to just melt out and wipe up ( Very Sticky). Does anyone have any suggestion for cleaning?
