We have very good success in facing the block and soaking it on the
water bath for 30-60 seconds and then allowing it to cool down on a
very wet ice tray. Ours cut like butter too! :o)

Or you could soak them in 10% sodium hydroxide for 20-30 minutes
prior to processing. My techs say they cut like butter!

HOW TO CUT NAILS (or other difficult tissue) SO THAT THEY STAY on
slide!
(1) Cut the slides and place on Plus(+) slide
(2) shake off excess water
(3) place slide immediately in plastic Coplin jar with 1-3 drops of
formalin at bottom.
(4) place in hot oven for 5 mins (50-60 degrees)
(5) remove from Coplin jar under a hood as formalin drops are now
carcinogenic vapour
(6) place slides in rack in oven so that the formalin moisture
dries...
(7) slide is ready for use

Subject: [Histonet] toe nails falling off slides
To all,
I was wondering if anyone out there had any tips on how to keep
toenail sections from falling off slides. We mount them on positive
slides, air dry for about an hour but they still fall off. Any
insight on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jenny
