Re: [Histonet] Histonet Digest, Vol 145, Issue 6 Oct separating from epidermis

[Steve McClain via Histonet]

Skin is often difficult to cut. Not sure I have seen that artifact, but here is 
what I use when having difficulties.
 Gently blot the tissue/epidermis dry before immersing in liquid OCT/Neg50. 
Then freeze in cryostat. Avoid refrigerant spray.
Sometimes we allow tissue to sit in oCT for 5 min and then freeze.
If tissue was in 20% sucrose, we blot, then rinse in OCT for 5 min then 
replace/mount in new OCT and freeze.

[Histonet] RET mutant positive lung FFPE BLOCK

[Clarence Owens via Histonet]

Hello all,

I am in search of a RET mutant positive lung FFPE block. If anyone has a block 
they can spare I would really appreciate your help. I am doing an assay 
validation and I am in need of this tissue. I'm willing to trade FFPE control 
material in return. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. 

Regards,

Clarence Owens, HT (ASCP) QIHC
