I don't like ice-trays. Well, I tried them and.....they swelled me blocks! Stick them blocks in the fridge, instead!
Sure, cooling them blocks is damn fine to get very thin kidney sections... Diane! The wonderful Chief Tech of Gt Ormond St kids Hospital.... Where are you??? You know all this stuff abart getting THIN kidney sections from Pwax blocks. Try "hughing" on the block, before cutting? Like a kid's breath when they are sleeping..... Ahhh. It's warm and, momentarily , expands them wax crystals? NB: Cooling them will have the same effect......weirdly Openly, Carl Caveat: each Lab MUST test out so many variables so as to appear Anal.. Fine...if you get damn fine results. However, share them results.
