We currently use Paraplast X-tra but occasionally have troubles with compression, and we heard Formula R is harder and less likely to compress. Thanks! Clare J.

Paraplast X-tra always worked fine for me. Check with them for a harder paraffin instead of changing to a different paraffin altogether.

It's Richard Allan/Thermo Fisher. They claim that you can "embed" scant tissues in the gel and then process, embed, and cut as usual. Just wondering how it works in the real world.... Michael J.
