Hi Valerie, When I started in Histo in 90' everybody used the alcohol burners...Open flame concern became a concerned and the separate forcep warmers were purchase because the old embedding centers did not have the nice warmers like the new ones do. The last place I worked at had an old embedding center when I started but we weren't allowed open flames. Fortunately, we found an unused Bacteria Incinerator that Micro. wasn't using and used that until that embedding center died. That worked great!

We are having a discussion/ disagreement in our department as far as whether using a bunsen burner at the embedding center is against fire codes. What is the consensus?? Thanks, Valerie A.
