Rt. Allison et D. Lloyd, MEASURING INFILTRATION DURING PARAFFIN WAX PROCESSING FOR HISTOLOGY, British journal of biomedical science, 53(3), 1996, pp. 235-237
A method is described to allow monitoring of the penetration of proces
sing fluids into tissue during histological processing. The method is
established by evaluating the effect of incorporating dimethyl sulphox
ide into paraffin wax and comparing processing times with those for pu
re paraffin wax.
