Sorry Histonetter's But it is my Friday and wouldn't this method give new meaning to the term "sausage block." :) I wish Margaret all the luck in her quest and if it was me, I would try either or both methods.

Can you leave the processed sample in a paper biopsy bag and embed both the meat and the paper? Will cutting the paper make the blade dull to quickly? Is there anything else we can use to hold the tissue together? We had thought to maybe use pig intestine and pack the meat into it to make it cut better. Thank you in advance for your help. Histonet has helped me out many times and I greatly appreciate it.
