Hi all, after more than a decade of NOT cutting frozen sections, I find myself back at the ice-face. To get my hand in (not literally) I thought I would do some trial sections on stored tissue - stuff that was in formalin and now in 70% alcohol.
Horror ; dismay. The tissue, once frozen, is all mushy in the middle. Is this because of teh long storage? is there anything I can do to improve the situation? much appreciated -- Louise Renton Bone Research Unit University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg South Africa +27 11 717 2298 (tel & fax) 073 5574456 (emergencies only) "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls".
