Hi Nicole, You must tell the list what the artifacts are before we can help you.
You're note is a little too vague. Paula Sicurello VA Medical Center San Diego Veterans Medical Research Foundation (VMRF) Core Research Imaging Center (CRIC) 3350 La Jolla Village Dr., MC151 San Diego, CA 92161 858-552-8585 x2397 Your images flow through our CRIC. --- On Fri, 6/5/09, Patten, Nicole (NIH/NIAAA) [F] <patte...@mail.nih.gov> wrote: From: Patten, Nicole (NIH/NIAAA) [F] <patte...@mail.nih.gov> Subject: [Histonet] Frozen Artifacts To: "histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu" <histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu> Cc: "Rodriguez-canales, Jaime (NIH/NCI) [F]" <rodri...@mail.nih.gov> Date: Friday, June 5, 2009, 7:46 PM Hello Histonet... I am using frozen brain sections and I have terrible frozen artifacts. I receive the tissue from a brain bank so I have no control over the method of freezing. Is there ANYTHING that I can do at this point to at least reduce these artifacts? I've tried formalin fixation post-cutting and reducing the temperature of the cryostat but nothing works.... the others in my lab also have no idea. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!! -Nicole _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
