We use this paraffin and it does not cause any permanent color change to
the tissue. When it is removed from the processor after infiltration,
the tissue does have some color, but after deparaffinization during
staining, there is no color left.
Hope this helps.

I still need help with deplasticizing our Spurr slides. Any advice would
be helpful.
Also, when cutting Spurr sections, what type of slides (charged, coated,
ect.) are people using?
Thanks,
Emily

I'm wondering if anyone has any helpful tips for deplastisizing Spurr.
We currently use saturated Sodium Hydroxide in 100% alcohol. We tried a
5% and a 1% solution as well, but still not perfect. The main issue we
are having is the tissue is lifting off of the slide during staining.
For microtomy
