The one thing that bothers me about the preloaded programs is the paraffin
temperature is set at 65 degrees C. That's close to 10 degrees higher than the
melting point of our paraffin.
Does anyone know why the temp. is so high? To me, a temp that high will cause
problems with IHC and small

Hi Garrey,
The answer is “it depends”. What you do when a processor fails depends on the
failure point. If the tissue is still in dehydrant it gets treated differently
than if it fails in the intermediate solvent.

We always validated our processor but not formally. CAP wants a more formal

What we did in the past was run placenta and colon and reviewed stained slides.
