I would value the opinion of UK histonetters (and further afield if the wax
is marketed in the UK) regarding paraffin waxes for "routine" tissue
embedding / microtomy. All experiences good or bad  would be appreciated.
It would be interesting to see if there is a market leader or are we using
a wide variety?
In the absence of your comments, I could remain blissfully unaware of
someones super product out there! The next issue is the thorny problem of
whether to change?? Wax is one reagent to swear by, rather than swear at!!

Thanks in anticipation
