Its melting range is between 56 - 58 °C and, within this range any specimen can be processed without fear of damage irrespective of the method used.
In most clinical laboratories the paraffinization is performed with an automated embedding system and is performed directly after the histoprocessing.
The Histosec pastilles are well soluble with the Intermedia Xylene or x ylene substitutes (such as Neo-Clear).
The paraffin is an IVD registered product and CE certified, thus can be used for clinical diagnostic purposes.
