Re: [Histonet] cadaver tissue processing for histology

[Hobbs, Carl via Histonet]

Rinse in dist water ( or tap water) x3 over 30 mins
No big deal to do this but nice to get rid of extra smells in your processing 
reagents ( depending on where you start processing: I start in 90% 
alcoholsure, I ask for recd specimens to be rinsed in water then 
transferred  to 70% alcohol  before I will process them)
Hopefully, you don't want to do IHC as inclusion of Glut. is counterproductive.

Best wishes

[Histonet] cadaver tissue processing for histology

[Preiszner, Johanna via Histonet]

Hi,

I got some cadaver tissue floating in "LTP embalming fluid w/ phenol".

Can I put those straight into the processor? Or has to be rinsed/soaked before? 
If so what should I use?

My Internet searches did not bring up anything useful.

Thank you!
