We have a software glitch in our tissue processor, it stops in the first paraffin and will not progress to paraffins 2 and 3 then complete the cycle. If we catch it quickly, we can instruct it to continue but the cycle happens around 5:00 am so we sometimes are not here, tissuet may spend an extra 30 minutes or even an hour in the first paraffin. Estimated cost of repairing is a whopping 6 thousand $$. Does this have a major effect on quality of slides....sometimes ours are less than ideal but I am not sure if the problem is in the paraffin cycle or elsewhere...sectioning, staining, etc. Any ideas?
