Re: [Histonet] RE: Paraffin Temperature Checks

I like to use a chart recorder on paraffin dispensers in case the thing goes whacko over a weekend and boils the paraffin, then goes back to normal before anyone notices. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 8, 2015, at 6:10 PM, Elizabeth Chlipala l...@premierlab.com wrote: All of our logs are use

Re: [Histonet] RE: Cornflaking artifact

We transfer eyes out of Mod Davidsons after 24 hours and process with the other soft tissues in formalin- why transfer to alcohol? We have beautiful eye sections. Jackie O' Sent from my iPhone On Aug 8, 2013, at 3:12 PM, Bea DeBrosse-Serra bdebrosse-se...@isisph.com wrote: Patsy, 18-24
