[Histonet] HistoGel for cell blocks

2010-11-23 Thread Bell, Lynne 
One of my pathologists is interested in the pros and cons of HistoGel for cell 
blocks.  I have read the archives and gathered some information for him.  He 
specifically would like to talk to someone that has been using it for some time.

Along the same line, what method do you find to be the best for cell blocks?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

A little bit of plain agar, or a plain TSA slant tube (stolen from
micro), melted in the microwave for 10 seconds, works just as well as
histogel, imho.
