Since you state you are in reasearch, consider air drying your slides. You only
need to remove the water between the paraffin section and the glass slide to
allow adhesion of the proteins in the tissue sample to the glass. Melting the
paraffin in not necessary, your deparaffinization steps in the routine and
special staining protocols will adequately remove the paraffin from the tissue
section.
Using an oven that was not designed to melt paraffin off the glass slide can
be very hazardous. The parafin can drop don into the heating elementsand cause
an ignition and fire.

Subject: [Histonet] Oven recommendations
Hi All,
I had just received a letter from Boekel (models 107800-107801 or 107905 in
either 120v or 230v) that my oven can not be used to melt wax of any kind. as
this is our bread and butter and need some suggestions to what kind or brand
is used that is good for us (histologists). I need a little one since I'm in
research and I don't need a big one due to the lack of volume. Does anyone
have suggestions or can point me in the right direction, Please?
Thanks so much and have a great day!!!Minnie
