4.4 Inserting and Removing Blocks

4.4.1 Block preparation

Warning!
If the paraffin swells through the bottom or the sides of the plastic cassette, cut off the
excess paraffin before inserting the block into the main unit.
Warning!
Working on extra hard tissues (for example, not decalcified) may end up breaking the
puncher needle.
Important!
To ensure the good quality of recipient blocks, make sure that the top surfaces of both,
recipient and donor blocks are parallel to the plastic bottom of the cassettes, and there
are no dents or cavities in the paraffin layer.
If any defect is visible, cut the top layer of the block to make it even, otherwise
embedded cores may be damaged after creation (for example, the top section of the
core is sticks out of the paraffin block, that can be easily broken down).
