The pathologist has told me that there is some machine that can be used instead of a flame to burn the forceps while embedding (which is our main use for the bunsen flame). This is the only lab I have ever worked at and I don't know what such a machine would be called. If anyone knows the name, or any other alternative method can you let me know. Model numbers/companies would be a bonus too! Thanks so much for your help.
