We put our molds in the VIP before running the cleaning cycle daily. Then we
dip them in alcohol containing mold release..air dry and store.

At our lab we clean the molds in the VIP cleaning cycle then dip in mold
release also. Works well. The only precaution is to drain the molds well
after dipping otherwise embedding can

Does anyone that uses the VIP to clean their base molds also recycle the
alcohols/xylene? We were told that you should not clean the molds in the
processor if you were recycling

We clean molds every day. My preferred method is heated water to melt the
paraffin off, then allow to cool. Peel the paraffin from the surface of the
water, remove the molds from the water, then dunk them about 10 times

My impression of the intial thread was the general cleanliness and cross
contamination potential, not the fact that the blocks aren't easily
released. I have never had that issue

Actually, the thread began because our VIP rotary valve got filled with
wax and required service. We clean daily in VIP, but wanted to know what
others were doing. Mostly, people are using the VIP
My bad, I guess I misunderstood. I still like them clean, even if it seems
unecessary.

We clean our molds once a week. Soak them in Xylene to remove paraffin, soak in
100% alcohol to remove xylene, rinse in running water, dry and spray with mold
release solution.

We haven't cleaned our molds for five years - if the blocks are cold enough
after embedding, there is no problem removing the block.

We occasionally use metal molds and we clean them after every use. We do this
by putting them into the tissue processor with the dirty rack during the clean
cycle.
