Re: [Histonet] Maximum and Minimum Temperatures on Embedding Center Paraffin Tanks

[Morken, Timothy via Histonet]

Kelly, You are not going to stay within the temp ranges if putting pellets 
directly into the embedding center tank. A couple solutions: 1) write into your 
procedure that the temperature will go down when pellets are added and that 
once melted should be in whatever range it calls for (and don't turn it up, 
because that means you have to keep adjusting it and someone may forget and as 
you say, exceed the temperature -  you just need to put in far enough ahead to 
let it melt. Or, 2) Get an bulk paraffin dispenser and melt the paraffin in 
that, then draw off liquid paraffin for your embedding center. This is pretty 
common for tissue processor and embedding centers to avoid having to use them 
to melt the paraffin. Gets you back to work faster as well.

You could warm the paraffin in an oven overnight to melt it so that the heat of 
fusion is not extracted from the embedding center paraffin tanks when it is 
added as melted paraffin at 58-65 degrees.

Recently we starting taking the daily maximum and minimum temperature ranges

and our current temperature range is 58 to 65oC.  The problem we are having is 
that when we add wax, the temp dips below the range until it melts.  If we turn 
it up, it exceeds the max range.  Any suggestions?

[Histonet] Maximum and Minimum Temperatures on Embedding Center Paraffin Tanks

[Pairan, Kelly via Histonet]

Good Afternoon,
Recently we starting taking the daily maximum and minimum temperature ranges 
for our embedding center paraffin tanks.  The melting point of our wax is 56oC 
and our current temperature range is 58 to 65oC.  The problem we are having is 
that when we add wax, the temp dips below the range until it melts.  If we turn 
it up, it exceeds the max range.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
