Thank you for the explanation Rene'. That makes perfect sense. Nanne From: Rene J Buesa [mailto:rjbu...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 1:50 PM To: Marsh, Nannette; Jones, Laura; Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Re: [Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melt

Re: [Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melting Point?

You can always melt the paraffin wax at any temperature above its melting point, but that does not change the characteristics of the wax and those with lower melting point are more compressible. René J. From: "Marsh, Nannette" To: 'Rene J Buesa' ; "Jones, Laura" ; "Histonet@lists.utsouthwester

Congratulations Jan! Thank you so much for you past contributions to our field and thank you again for continuing to contribute to the field in your retirement. If you and Gayle Callis (among others) are any indication, it's not looking too good for the rest of us who think someday we will retir

RE: [Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melting Point?

I have wondered about that myself recently. Noticed lower temperature needed in our waterbaths and melting at lower temperature in embedding center. Shiny drops form on top of our blocks, but not with the tissue. Esthr Esther C. Peters, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Environmental Science & Policy B

[Histonet] The Golden Age

Hello everyone,Well...I did it! I officially retired from my position at Leica Biosystems after over 20 years of service. It was very bittersweet, but it was becoming obvious that it was time to slow down a little. If you know me at all, you've probably guessed that I couldn't leave the fie

RE: [Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melting Point?

On the back of the bag are the instructions : 52 degrees melting point: for best results, use at temperatures above 56 degrees. Would it make a difference if it melted at the lower temperature but, embedding is done at the warmer temperature? Just wondering. Thank you for your response. N

Re: [Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melting Point?

The "rule of thumb" is that the lower the paraffin melting point is the higher the compression rate is. It would be nice to ask the manufacturer why the change; perhaps they have added something that reduces the melting point, but I really do not think they should do that without warning the use

[Histonet] Paraplast Xtra Melting Point?

Happy Friday to all! For those of you who use Paraplast Xtra, had you noticed that the melting point printed on the bag has changed from 56 degrees to 52 degrees? I've seen several comments recently about problems with compression with this paraffin; and we have been experiencing the same prob
