I don’t see a problem with it. We all melt and re-embed tissue for all kinds of reasons every day. I think it is much better for the tissue than keeping it warm for an extended period of time. Jen Saunders  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Tuesday, December 17, 2019, 2:28 PM, Tony Henwood

Hi Paula, We routinely do this, especially for our fetal autopsy blocks. We are then able to process and let them set at room temp until we are able to embed and cut. Some cases are more urgent than others so these can be expedited a lot easier since they will only need embedding, sectioning

[Histonet] Delay in embedding?

Good Morning Listers, How many out there will process tissue and then leave the cassettes at room temperature and embed it at a later time (hours or the next day)? Please send me your opinions about doing this. I think it’s a bad idea, others I speak with disagree. Sincerely, Paula
