What kind of embedding center doesn't allow for a range in cooling
temps?

Hi All,

I also have a similar ? about cracks in paraffin blocks. We are demoing
a new embedding center and have been getting cracks in our blocks.
Unfortunately, the cold plate temp can't be adjusted and is supposedly
set at -5C. Any other ideas how to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
