Re: [Histonet] A Question About Paraffin Times

[Tony Henwood (SCHN) via Histonet]

It is best to remove the blocks and let them set at room temperature.

Leaving them at 60 or more degrees can adversely affect antigens.

We routinely do this with our autopsies and have not noted any issues.

Subject: [Histonet] A Question About Paraffin Times

Good Morning Listers,

I am asking the collective wisdom of the Histonet this question:


Is it better to remove baskets from the processor on Saturday morning and:

A.  Let the cassettes freeze, then melt them down and embed Monday morning?
OR
B.  Leave the cassettes in molten paraffin and embed Monday morning?


I am of the opinion that leaving the samples (not fatty, like breast cores) in 
molten paraffin (62 degrees C)  is bad practice, and causes them to get 
"crunchy", among other things.

What do you think?

Thank in advance.

Sincerely,

Paula Sicurello, HTL (ASCP)CM
