Just a coincidence - I was working in another lab this week and when I was cleaning out the processor (not a VIP) after a cleaning cycle I was picking out chunks of paraffin. I asked the tech (not a histotech) when the last time was that the cleaning reagents were changed and she said, "December". OMG! I did my best to hold back any comments but I changed out the xylene and alcohol as soon as I could. Then I said I thought the reagents need to be changed more often.
