Hi, you can find a pratical suggestion at your problem by watching the Step 9: "Expedite Large Specimen Fixation"
on the guide: "101 Steps to Better Histology - a Practical Guide to Good Histology Practice" You can download it from: http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/101-steps-to-better-histology-a-practical-guide-to-good-histology-practice/ I don't know if such procedure is suitable for the study of your specimen but take it just like a suggestion. My Best.

In general, it is in use the fomalin, but during the cut it is possible to see that in the deep layer the formalin doesn't arrive... So, Could you give some suggestion to improve this technique?!
