[Histonet] cryojane slide residue
Hello alll! I am just starting to learn about cutting cryojane sections. I was given a sample of starfrost 4x and 5x as part of the installation. It is my understanding that these are moreadhesive than the ordinary snowcoat slides. HOWEVER, when i used these i noticed that there was a residue on the slide that stained up with eosin in a rather messy way. Is this normal? Can I get rid of it somehow? AlsoI am trying to cut sections of hydroxy apatite bone substitute on the cryostat. Even with the tape transfer method the implant disintigrates - is there any way to prevent this? looking forward to some answers best regards -- 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.
