Microm sells freezing devices, that can be used with sliding microtomes. Perhaps you can get a machine like that. http://www.microm-online.com/index.html under microtome accessories.
Another idea is using a table-freezing microtom, old style.

We have flash frozen tissue in OCT (Optimal Cutting Temperature) compound for some unique experiments that we need to carry out. We want to use a AO-860 sliding microtome to cut large slabs of OCT embedded tissue. Does anyone have any advice on how this would work reproducibly and reliably on the freezing stage.
