Dehydration is the process of removing water from tissues prior to embedding them in paraffin wax. This is necessary because paraffin wax is hydrophobic and will not infiltrate tissues that still contain water. The ideal dehydrating agent removes water rapidly and evenly from tissues without shrinking, distorting, or hardening the tissues excessively. Common dehydrating agents include alcohols like ethanol and isopropanol, acetone, dioxane, cellosolve, triethyl phosphate, and tetrahydrofuran. A typical dehy
