Hi TF:
Your problem should not be happening.
Sounds like poor perfusion followed by immersing the whole brain (with
the wound deep in the interior) in a small volume of fix at 4 degrees C.
What fixative are you using?

Hi, I just want to fix the damaged brain tissue (2-48 hours after I made the
injury).
Because the injury damaged the surrounding blood supply, and after perfusion I
normally got a mass of soft, shapeless tissue surrounding the injury site...
I have also tried post-fixation of 24-48 hours before removing the brain from
in situ. But it does not help a lot.
Can anyone provide some suggestions?
