RE: [Histonet] Manual Paraffin Embedding  From:"Kemlo Rogerson"
Does anyone process and embed tissues manually instead of using
When I was a lad I used to manual process Brains and other
stuff. In retrospect I wonder why we use the same processing
schedules for disparate organs. We ought to have a kidney
schedule and a heart schedule specifically for each organ type.
I always knew a tissue was processed adequately as it changed in
its translucency. If the was water still present in the tissue
you could see its presence in the clearing agent and smell
clearing agent in the wax. However you exposed yourself to
carcinogenic vapours and I guess that it is right and proper we
automated and contained. I wonder if that's why I've grown two
heads?   Kemlo Rogerson         Pathology Manager DD   01934
