Sometimes screened cassettes have been blamed for defects in processing and to cause "bubbles" to be maintained in the tissues surfaces. So if that is the type of cassette your have narrowed your problem to that could be the cause. René J. --- On Mon, 4/27/09, Sharon.Davis-Devine <sharon.davis-dev...@carle.com> wrote:

We are routinely seeing bubbles when we go to cut the blocks. Our embedders are very careful about tamping the tissue down to prevent this but it still seems to be happening. We have narrowed down to one particular cassette so that may be the problem. We were just wondering is anyone out there in Histoland has had similar problems and if you have how did you solve it? As always thanks for the help.
